I have the same problem on my HP and this is someway related to the module lis3lv02d, which controls the internal accelerometer inside the computer. The module provides a joystick interface (/dev/input/jsX) to the accelerometer which is activated when you open a game with joystick support, once the module enters in action the volume control gets totally crazy (continuous random up and down). The volume stops to do that when you close the game/software.
I don't know why the volume gets out of control, just suspect that is something related to volume-slider and multimedia keys from keyboards Including the mute button and the wireless button), that seems to be interacting with lis3lv02d. These seems to happen with almost every HP notebook model from recent years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566181 Title: When I start a game, the audio freaks out, and the volume changes by itself To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/566181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
