Created attachment 448237 [details] alsa-info output Description of problem: Extremely low audio on Asus EEETop ET2203 lspci | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Attached: alsa-info output I've tried turning all the mixer settings up, installing Fedora KDE, Gnome & LXDE, using each mixer with no success; installed pulseaudio & followed tuning options at http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds with no success there, either. How reproducible: Constantly low sound, always reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora on Asus EeeTop ET2203 Low Audio 2. Try any sound, i.e., 'aplay /usr/share/sounds/osmo/alarm.wav' Actual results: alsa-info.txt attached
I'm also experiencing much of the same thing; the sound output seems only to be at 30% to 40% of its full capability. I have an ASUS K50 (K50IJ-BBZ5). I discovered though by going into BIOS, changing the speaker volume from 4 to 8, enabling the sound beep on POST, the POST beep is quite audible; much more than what is outputted under the OS. I haven't tried it under Windoze yet, but perhaps I shall and see what comes of it. BT
So I just tested under Windoze and the audio quality and output was perfect. BT
Probably not a PA problem, but a mixer initialization issue. Please play around with "alsamixer -c0", and see if you can find an option that fixes volume for you. If you do, please post exactly what you did here.

If you do, please post exactly what you did here. I tried everything to do with alsa commands, PA commands, etc. I think it's the way that the sound driver is implemented in the Linux kernel. In Windows & BSD, the sound works fine; however, regardless of which Linux flavor (I've tried: Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, & Fedora) I use, the sound is extremely quiet.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
