* status: new => closed * resolution: => elsewhere Comment: It is in no way equal to a graphical equaliser with one slider. Surround sounds are handled by separate sliders but we merge that into one in most GUIs but allow a split version where appropriate. It's still one control with proper channel names, but it all makes sense. Why are there Master & PCM controls. 99% of users don't care, they just fiddle with both until something works. This is a total mess and it's broken. The PA approach fixes things. Additionally, all of the high end amps I've owned in my life use a db scale when changing volume. If your volume is changing too much with a small change in a pavucontrol slider then the db information exposed by your audio driver is buggy and should be fixed. Please report this to ALSA devs. For me on my h/w the slider is smooth and volume increments very nicely to my ears. This report is not so much worded like a bug report but more of a discussion. If you want to discuss things, please do so through the appropriate channel (i.e. the mailing list) rather than through a bug tracking system. I'll close this as elsewhere for now (as I suspect your problem is invalid db info from your alsa drivers. -- Ticket URL: <http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/763#comment:1> PulseAudio <http://pulseaudio.org/> The PulseAudio Sound Server _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-tickets mailing list pulseaudio-tickets@mail.0pointer.de https://tango.0pointer.de/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-tickets
