Created attachment 347647 [details] area of volume slider that has the same (low) volume Description of problem: When changing volume to lower 1/3 of the volume slider (see screenshot) corresponds to one (low) volume. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pulseaudio-0.9.15-11.fc11.x86_64 alsa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc11.x86_64 kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # alsactl init (volume gets restored to default volume, which is a bit loud as a default, but well...) 2. move the volume slider down. Actual results: Unable to effectively use full range of volume slider. Slider up == very loud, OK. Slider in the lower 1/3 part is the same low volume (between 5-10%). Slider all the way down is mute (totally quiet), OK. Expected results: Gradual volume control from top to bottom of slider, maybe a less loud default (-25% of what it is now) Additional info: See all attachments as requested by AlsaVolume blocker bug

this isn't actually an AlsaVolume type bug. it's very similar to another report, which has a good explanation from Lennart of what's going on. I'll find it and act appropriately in a minute, hockey just came back on =) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=502057 is the one I'm thinking of. Lennart, does this look like the same issue as in that bug, to you? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

PA in Rawhide now uses a different mapping of volume 'percentages' to dB which makes the lower part of the sliders more useful.
Hi! I'm sorry to reopen this bug but I still encounter it (since many months and my ears can confirm!). I would like to know if you intend to backport (hopefully soon) the fix present in rawhide to Fedora 11... Rgds, Laurent.

I would like to know if you intend to backport (hopefully > soon) the fix present in rawhide to Fedora 11... No, I don't. This change is more than a bugfix, so I really not convinced that this should be backported.
