Hi Siju, If you're just hearing just a whisper of audio and can't control the volume at all, then you might actually hearing signal bleed through on poorly isolated output circuits (which is very common). This can happen when the "sound" is going to one or more of the outputs but the particular output you're "listening on" (i.e. using) is actually shut off. I did notice you have one of your outputs set to be muted (``on''). Setting it to ``off'' might fix the problem. Also there's some weirdness at the end of you dmesg regarding tracks on the CD you're using. The disc might not be compliant with the Audio CD standard due to some copyright protection scheme (or rootkit in the case of Sony). You might want to try a different disc. Kind Regards, JCR
