[Bug 542360] Re: pulseaudio only lowers volume when below 15%

 

Virgil Brummond, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  pulseaudio only lowers volume when below 15%

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: pulseaudio

  The pulseaudio volume control applet does not change the volume level
  at all (it remains loud) until the slider is around 15%. Then it will
  lower the sound in the four steps it takes to hit 0%, then it mutes
  just fine. It seems that the slider "Master Front" hits zero at around
  15%, then the "Front" slider actually controls the volume. I can
  obtain more information, please tell me what you need.

  I expected the volume to become progressively quieter as the bar goes
  down, however it does not change until 15% as was said.
