Thank you Raymond for insight and help with this problem. The softvol master volume must have been from a try with asound.rc config, but it didn't help. Here is updated alsa-info script without asound.rc: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ab5362501881befcdaee94e44278820d43bf92f1
Meanwhile, in order to test sound, I have tried severeal live distros including: Ubuntu/Lubuntu 12.10, Mint, Crunchbang and the result is the same: no sound or sound that is very low with a lot of noise. Tried to update alsa to 1.0.25 following this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 but that also failed, resulting with "no driver to compile". Don't know what else to try, and cannot believe that after more than 7 years with Linux now when I finally have completely Intel based computer the sound is making this much trouble. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066814 Title: Asus P54G1T-M LX, Intel HDA Realtek ALC887-VD Very low sound To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1066814/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
