New "after" state on alsamixer
Realized the previous version (1) was too quiet in headphones, and (2) leaves the second headphone jack still non-functional.  This laptop has a dual headphone jack; both jacks turn off the laptop's built-in speakers as expected, but the second jack doesn't work by default without running the alsamixer and unmuting it, which I've done.

Jaroslav, was this one done in 1.0.20? The alsa-utils-1.0.20-3 package should fix this issue. Reopen this bug if the problem persist.  | 
Created attachment 342089 [details] alsa-info.txt Even after turning up the new volume control all the way, and the control on Totem, music is still incredibly quiet on the built-in speakers. It's listenable on headphones, but won't get very loud -- pleasant in a quiet room, but unusable in any louder environment. The volume control applet doesn't even appear to change volume anywhere, on built-in speakers or headphones. Attaching /tmp/alsa-info.txt, and amixer before and after states, and setting this to block AlsaVolume.
