#763: PulseAudioStoleMyVolumes --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: liette | Owner: Pulse Audio Staff Type: defect | Status: new Milestone: | Component: core Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- After reading this I now know that ALL my audio problems are actually by design & NOT a bug. Why would anyone even DREAM of putting all the controllers into one? - that would be equivalent to a graphics equalizer with only one slider. Or an airplane cockpit with only one control.
Forget the dB, VU, % or whatever term you want to use. The average user isn't going to understand those terms anyway. So I will tell you that a logarithmic (NON-linear) control isn't by any means acceptable. I barely move the slider (1/16" if THAT much) & it goes from nothing to blaring & I'm almost deaf as it is. So I can see why people say 100%. To use this as is would mean a "set & forget" approach - well as an Amateur Radio Op. I NEED a very fine audio control or I can ruin a radio. Also, as a family man I can't be having the audio blasting & disturbing (possibly waking) others, not to mention damage to THERE ears - recall I'm almost deaf so I'd have to have the volume up as it is? Please, either provide a "tool" to put this back as it was (for those that want it) & make sure that people know about it. Or provide detailed instructions on how to do it. Again letting people know that it exist.
