Most everything works great on my samsung chronos 7 with f17 including led brightness, keyboard brightness, wifi, etc.
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.
Hi,
i've just installed opensuse 11.2 (Gnome) on my Dell xps1530 and everything works well, i'm very happy BUT inbuild microphone doesn't want to work! It's the only bug,not so bad ;-)) but i need it...
Here's my infos:
alsa-info.sh
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

I don't understand... my system has been fine for months without the alsa-utils package running only pulse-audio... are you mocking me Probably because your default volumes are fine.
Hi, you guys:I need help, after restarting, my Waldof just went mute, no sound at all; and I am sure that before the reboot, I didn't do anything (upgrading or interfering in the system).
I've been thinking for a while about switching pulseaudio for alsa because pulseaudio is pure crap, but get this. My father told me, "Never ever switch out the most mature sound driver Linux has which is pulseaudio for some cheap not-so-stable knock-off called alsa." :blink::doh: I mean why would anyone think that PulseAudio is stable. It's real crap.
Anybody know how to get Audacious working with PulseAudio in Fedora 11?
With the PulseAudio output plug-in, it messes with the volume every time the track changes. My poor ears can't take the abuse...
With the ALSA output plug-in, it crackles, pops, and plays too fast.
Pulseaudio-alsa is basically a config file to make programs outputting to ALSA use pulseaudio instead. So having pulseaudio-alsa without pulseaudio does not make much sense
