11.10 install after applying Comment #4 Fix for bug 876020 on a Lenovo R61i (aka 89329xu). I cannot confirm the observation about the output volume in sound settings; I only have 100% marked about 2/3 of the way to the right. Here are some observations of my own:
1. Volume settings do not persist across boots. 2. In Gnome ALSA Mixer, I have two output controls, one for "Headphon" and one for "Speaker". At boot, they both default to maximum. There is a "PCM" control which seems to affect "Speaker". It also has three "Mic" controls, "Mic," "Mic1," and "Mic2." "Mic" correlates to "Input" in sound settings. "Mic1" and "Mic2" appear to do nothing. Neither "Input" not "Mic" have any effect on the volume of an external microphone; it 's always at maximum. They appear to only control the internal mic, and only to the extent of 2 or three notches on the "Input" indicator. 3. The command line alsamixer shows the same as Gnome ALSA mixer, but in Curses graphics. "Mic" also has the additional label "CAPTURE". These controls appear to function exactly like the Gnome ALSA Mixer. Indeed, corresponding controls track together betwee n the two programs. 4. Both Gnome ALSA Mixer and alsamixer identify my sound chip as "Conexant ID 5045." Previous to the bug 876020 fix, they correctly identified it as a 20549. I am going to back the fix out to see if it reverts, and report on that here. All for now. Hope this information is helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909723 Title: Issues with Volume Control on Lenovo R61i To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/909723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
