Hi Bob, I had a similar problem and fixed it by set PCM to 100% (it was more or less 50%). I didn't find a way to change that value from 'Sound Preferences' and had to use 'kmix' as workaround (I believe it could be done by 'amixer set PCM 100%'). Here attached there is my alsa-info in case it helps.
Thanks for the suggestion. Here's 'amixer' for illustration. I could move it up to 100% (or simply turn up the main speaker volume a bit-physical effort would be required on my part, though ;-) ) and have a workaround, but I wanted to log the bug to make sure that the devs noted the glitch. [bob@localhost ~]$ amixer Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 65536 Mono: Front Left: Playback 60757 [93%] [on] Front Right: Playback 60757 [93%] [on] Simple mixer control 'Capture',0 Capabilities: cvolume cswitch cswitch-joined Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Capture 0 - 65536 Front Left: Capture 62259 [95%] [on] Front Right: Capture 62259 [95%] [on]
Sounds like a mixer initializatio problem. Try playing around with "alsamixer -c0"
