From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13 i686) Description of problem: I have an Ensoniq sound card, driver ES1371 (Audio PCI-97). I run the Gnome desktop. Following my upgrade from 7.0 to 7.2, my audio output was inaudible except at the very highest setting of the mixer applet volume control. Near the very top of the volume setting, the actual volume increases very quickly. This was not the case in 7.0. Redhat tech support (Steffen) requested that I report this as a bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Upgrade from 7.0 to 7.2. 2.Play some sound files while playing with the mixer applet volume. 3.Sound is inaudible except in the highest 10-20% of the range. Actual Results: see above Expected Results: see above Additional info:
I'd assume this is a kernel change, the mixer applet hasn't changed AFAIK. I have the same sound card at home, though I usually use the physical volume control on the speaker rather than the software volume.
