F12 Sound problem (LFE is always maxed)

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I installed F12 64 bit on my Dell Precision M90 today, which has an intel hda sound card. The sound seems to be very loud and is coming from the LFE (subwoofer). I couldn't see the LFE control in the volume control so I downloaded gmixer and turned the LFE down. But whenever I change the volume, the LFE slides back up to max again and it gets very loud again. Tried alsamixer too (dropped LFE down) but the same thing happens.... Anyone notice this and anyone got a solution? (HowTos)

Stories similar to F12 Sound problem (LFE is always maxed)

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.

[ubuntu] No Low Volumes 1 year 1 hour ago

I recently installed a clean copy of 12.04. So far everything has worked reasonably well, but I have a problem with the volume. Unless I have the volume at 1/4, or above I don't get any sound. Above that the sound control is quite precise, but If I want the volume to be any lower (which I often do), I have to adjust the volume on the individual application I am using.

have anyone noticed that the notification sound for sms, email etc is too loud when on low volume settings, but whats weird is when you PREVIEW the sound it IS low like normal, but when its actually used it rings loud...again all sound options are set to low so its not that i have not lowered all 4 sound levers

I've recently upgraded from a HTC One X to a HTC One. I've noticed the volume control isn't as good with the new handset, as the lowest volume setting is still quite loud. With my HTC One X I could put the volume of games down so that it was loud enough for me to hear, but not loud enough to annoy anyone in the vicinity ie my wife lying next to me.

I have 2x 2.1 speakers connected to the computer where I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed. On the software side I've set all the volume controls to 100% with the alsamixer program.

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?

Hey there, trying out #! alpha 2, love it..butttttwhen i turn on my computer, backspace too much, etc, i get that super annoying noise like that loud BEUPit is extermely annoying.. how can i fix that?and also, how can i make it so when i use my keyboard volume keys, it will change my actually volume?thanks
