What is so strange? Two cases that may explain that behaviour: * Alsamixer does not have a clue what is the maximum/minimum volume of the device. So setting volume ~0 does not actually sets the device to the minimum volume. * Alsamixer defines incorrectly the relation between the master and PCM. That is, huge changes in the master may result in small changes in PCM volume: you change master from 50% to 0% (mixer) volume, but the PCM goes from 50% to 25% (real) volume. -- Sound still comes out of speakers when PCM volume is set to 0. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
