Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pulseaudio
Working off this page: http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/BadDecibel, dutifully reporting bad db levels on the distro bug tracker the way it tells me. Results: - Running "./dbverify Intel Master" shows that the master dB is off maybe 20%. Noticeable but not too bad. - Running "./dbverify Intel PCM" shows that PCM is WAY off. The part where it plays with the mixer set to 0 is fine, sounds just like Master did. However, when it switches and plays with the mixer set to 255, it's almost completely inaudible. Practically, the bad DB levels are very apparent when listening in 5.1 mode. It sounds mostly OK except Mid-high frequencies (5000 Hz maybe) are very distorted. When I use alsamixer to force PCM down to 85%, the distortion goes away. Of course, the moment anyone touches a volume button, pulse bumps PCM back to 100% and produces crap audio again. This is on an Asus P5QL-EM HDMI motherboard. lspci claims this is the audio device I'm using: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller Tell me if there's anything more I can do to help diagnose this. Thanks!
