We need to cap node 0x0b at 0 dB for (your) ALC882_6ST_DIG quirk, because your numsteps is greater than your offset to 0 dB, resulting in distortion:
Node 0x0b [Audio Mixer] wcaps 0x20010b: Stereo Amp-In Amp-In caps: ofs=0x17, nsteps=0x1f, stepsize=0x05, mute=1 Amp-In vals: [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] [0x80 0x80] Connection: 10 0x18 0x19 0x1a 0x1b 0x1c 0x1d 0x14 0x15 0x16 0x17 ** Package changed: pulseaudio (Ubuntu) => alsa-driver (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Changed in: alsa-driver (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Daniel T Chen (crimsun) ** Summary changed: - pulseaudio volume over amplified for ICH8 82801H + ALC882_6ST_DIG needs numsteps cap to 0 dB offset -- ALC882_6ST_DIG needs numsteps cap to 0 dB offset https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
