Public bug reported: I have a Fujitsu-SIemens T5010 laptop with an Intel 82801I audio controller, and it seems to me that the range of the sound controls is too low somehow. I have tried tweaking them in alsamixer, from the volume applet, and from system->preferences->sound.
If I put all the controls at maximum, or very near maximum I get a "normal" sound level, but I could never set it to what I would consider loud. PeIrhaps the speakers are inherently low-sound (it's a new laptop, and I've only run ubuntu 9.04 on it, so I have nothing to compare with), but I doubt that. Also, using the mic to record with audacity, I need to use the maximum setting for the mic. The "front mic" doesn't work, I need to use the "internal mic". (Don't know what "front mic" is, there are two mics on the front of the screen, but perhaps "front mic" is what you'd connect to the jack on the side). I simply don't understand what all these different devices or controllers are. The volume control lets me choose between "HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)", "Realtek ALC269 (OSS Mixer)", "HDA Intel ALC269 Analog (PulseAudio Mixer)", and the "Sound" setting menu also lets me choose just "ALSA" or "OSS". I also have asoundconf-gtk installed, which gives me the choice between "Intel" and "PulseAudio" for the "Default Sound Card". So perhaps I just haven't managed to set the right combination of things, but I've tried changing a lot, and my definite impression is that the scale is off, both for input and output. I ran the alsa check script, and my configuration is described at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1b8bf5bf00145a4aa0602534d50dd993bd09a234 I'm running ubuntu 9.04. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- low laptop volume with 82801l / ALC269 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
