Okay, the latest pulseaudio in the ubunu-audio-dev ppa works a little better, but I had to change the gconf app/gnome_settings_daemon/volume step to 1 to have decent control over volume, as the highest I'd want my headphones with this volume scheme is about 30%.
The only remaining issue is that it still maxes surround early on, when it should follow the same movement master does with my soundcard. Also, pulseaudio output is actually broken at the moment because it causes nothing but static, but alsa output still works fine and volume control affects alsa output as well. But this bug is unrelated to this one and I've filed it at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/432506 -- Volume too loud https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410948 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
