Title:
Altec Lansing FX5051 USB Speakers Lock on Maximum Volume
Status in ALSA driver:
In Progress
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Altec Lansing FX5051 USB speakers are locked at 100% volume as soon as
they're plugged in, and no tweaking from alsamixer or the gnome mixer
apps seems to be able to undo this.
I filed the issue upstream ( https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-
bug/view.php?id=3841 ), and there's more information about the issue
there.
I'm a bit concerned about allowing these speakers to be connected to
my ubuntu machines, as playing as loud as they do would seem to
present some risk of damage to the speakers and/or my ears.
In summary:
The mixer doesn't work at all with alsa, everything is locked at 100%
volume, which is pretty unhelpful, as it's the only way to adjust the
volume. (no analog controls, the only other control is a digital
wheel, which exhibits the same behavior as alsamixer).
Also, the digital control panel locks up when the speakers power up,
further preventing any access to the volume controls.
