Ok, using ignore_dB=1 restored the old behavior. And the cause turned out to be more or less what I expected. Pulseaudio is merging the hardware mixers into one big mixer. The 0% mark on my Master mixer also says "-48.00 dB", and the 0% mark on my PCM mixer gives me "-51.00 dB", which means that the maxers together have a total of 100 dB or dynamic range. However, I don't think the actual hardware (the speakers) can produce this dynamic range, so the lower end of the volume slider is just completely silent.
So maybe the *real* problem is that I need a way to specify the max and min volumes in dB, and let Pulseaudio figure out the rest. I certainly don't need 100 dB of dynamic range. -- Volume slider controls multiple hardware mixers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521237 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
