http://forums.fedoraforum.org – hey there, this is going to sound like a newbie question, i just have never run into this problem... how can i change alsa in fedora to default to a higher volume, right now if i open alsamixer or gmixer the max volume is 31%(i don't use pulseaudio, as i do pro-audio and pulseaudio is unnecessary). how can i change this? i have never encountered this b4...and it is slighty inconvenient... any help appreciated thanx! ts9 (HowTos)

Just a follow up to this for anyone with the same issue.  I ended up installing alsa, alsa-oss, and pulseaudio-alsa, and then configuring them with an Alsa Mixer (in this case xfce4-mixer, but there are others) and Pulseaudio Volume Control (pavucontrol).  In Pulseaudio Volume Control, I disabled 'HD-Audio Generic', as it is for the HDMI output of my graphics card, and set &#03

Hello,since a few weeks my sound volume on Arch is very low but for me it became conscious now. The audio volume is at least half of standard ALSA, possible only a third. When I remove pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa and restart the system the volume is right. I use KDE SC 4.8.3 and PulseAudio 2.0 on Linux 3.3.6-1 but I can't say to you when the problem has occurred.

So I know there are many ways to change the volume when one is running ALSA.  However, I like running PulseAudio, whose volume really shouldn't be changed with an ALSA volume control.  So I decided to find a way to change the volume through the command line.  I researched and found pactl, which lets the person mute, unmute, and change the volume, among a whole lot of other thin

I have tried killing pulseaudio. I have tried editing alsa-base.conf. I have tried alsamixer. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling alsa-base and pulseaudio. I have tried everything I could find, but still no sound.

My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 6190us with switchable AMD and Intel graphics. The sound stopped working suddenly after an update.

Just installed F12 and noticed that the volume control applet is now all Pulseaudio rubbish, not Alsa like gmixer used to be.

So now I don't seem to be able to mute my speakers when I'm using my headset, which in F10 I could do by just muting LFE/Center.

Alsamixer doesn't come up with an option to change the volume, the site says that it has limited compatibility with my sound card, and suggested I use PulseAudio. All I need to be able to do is change the volume, it's stuck on 152% - see ncmpcpp.

Hey guys,

I've read what feels like every forum post going with regards to this issue, nothing is helping, ive got no sound from my soundcard and yet Pulse volume metre for playback shows sound.

I am running KDE and have installed PulseAudio (with pulseaudio-alsa) as my sound systemEverything has been running fine, when I reboot my system and log back into KDE my volume level is remembered (currently at 30%)This morning I installed the Google Talk plugin from AUR and that relies on alsa-utils, when I start using Chrome as soon as it uses the Google Talk plugin my volume jumps to 100%My qu

Hi. I wrote some time ago about my problems with sound in PulseAudio. I decited to remove it, and use only ALSA like I was few months ago (I think). Currently in alsamixer I have only "PulseAudio" master volume, before that I had more sliders. But... how to remove PulseAudio? Pacman says, that gnome-settings-daemon depends on pulseaudio. How can I disable it?
