Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-media
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition
Audio Controller (rev 02)
on a toshiba a100-998 laptop
running hardy heron alpha 6 live cd.
the default is currently "Realtek ALC861 (OSS Mixer)" but for this device the
volume slider always shivers back to 100%, and none of the track controls do
anything (well except the line in track which makes my audio crackle when i
turn the volume up, even though i dont have a line in port, probably a seperate
issue)
(note that when i was using gutsy the default was wrong too, but it chose
microphone as the default out)
The default should instead be "Playback: ALSA PCM on front:0 (ALC861 Analog)
via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)". This does actually allow you to control the volume.
[ However, even this isnt ideal, it only has one "master" track, as do the
other 2 pulse audio channels ("Monitor source of ALSA ....." and "ALSA...."),
which means that you cant do something like having the input of the microphone
outputing through the speakers. Maybe this is what is supposed to be happening
i dont know. At least using pulse actually controls the volume. ]
Another problem which might be related is that gnome-sound-recorder says
"Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the
Multimedia settings." but i will do a seperate bug report about this if
necessary.
its easy to change from the default with "right click > preferences" on the
panel, or "file > change device" in gnome-volume-control.
The default is still being remembered somewhere as using a usb keyboard volume
control keys, the volume still sticks as 100% so i guess it is still trying to
control the oss device.
happy to give any more information
