This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping It's not a bug. Actually, all volumes are set to -20dB by default to keep things safe. Anyway, attach, please, output from 'alsa-info.sh --no-upload'. Created attachment 331899 [details]
Result from alsa-info.sh
Here is the output from alsa-info.sh. Also of note, my soundcard is incredibly too quiet at anything less than 0dB when playing through the internal laptop speakers. It only distorts if you go above 0dB (which you can't do anymore, but you used to be able to and I would set PCM to ~74%). Anyway, I feel that the default should be a PCM volume of 0dB and a Master volume of 50% (since the master volume can be changed more easily than PCM).
Any thoughts on this? Adam Williamson, I read your e-mail here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-April/msg02321.html Have I provided enough information in this ticket? Looks like, yes. Adding Lennart in CC. Thanks. I need to set up a blocker bug for these... -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Appearently Conexant codecs are really broken and do not follow HDA specification. This commit should handle this issue: http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-utils.git;a=commitdiff;h=42ae1e6f1b874da090abe065c781a4f7b91ba67c This patch will be in alsa-utils-1.0.20 release. thanks, jaroslav. will we be able to get that fix into f11, either by backporting it or updating alsa-utils? it's rather important as discussed in the mail linked in comment #5, as I expect you know. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers It would make a lot of sense to me if the 'inner' volume controls (such as PCM, not Master) would be initialized to 0dB by default. Jaroslav, what's the reason not to do that? reporter, can you test with alsa-utils 1.0.20 and confirm if this is fixed? you will need to install the packages and then run 'alsactl init', which resets the volumes to default. if it works after that, we're good. You can get 1.0.20 from updates-testing, or directly at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=102231 I already had alsa-utils-1.0.20-3.fc11.x86_64 installed, so I ran alsactl init. It looks like it worked! I ran alsamixer -c0 and PCM was at 100%/0dB. Thanks a lot. Unless there's anything else you want me to check, I'd say this bug is closed. Thanks again! |
