Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Codename: oneiric
Reproduce the problem: 1. Listen to music with headphones 2. Adjust volume to a reasonable level 3. Notice poor audio quality (noise, short "cracks" in the music) Confirm / Work around: 4. run alsamixer 5. notice the "Headphone" controller on 100% 6. lower the "Headphone" controler a little (e.g. to 90%) and raise "Master" instead 7. Listen to music with the same volume as in the beginning but with good quality. Suggestion: The volume control (I guess the pulse-audio volume controller) should avoid setting internal controllers to 100%. ** Affects: gnome-media (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/923799 Title: Volume Control sets internal controllers badly, resulting in poor audio quality To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/923799/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
