The ALSA changes in 2.6.23-rc6 for Intel HDA made me change my volume from about 30% to 75% to get the same level of sound. Was this intentional?
My ALSA info is here. http://pastebin.ca/692226
Hi,
First of all, what kernel do you compare to (which has louder sound) Then if you use headphones, maybe you plugged them in 'surround output' Like center/LFE/side/surround. Those outputs give much lower levers of sound. Only Front HP and Line-out have special amp for headphones.
2.6.23-rc5, I have stereo speakers plugged into the left/right output. I never moved the speaker plug. The volume gets louder when I load the new kernel.
It looks like the name of the main PCM channel changed from 'pcm' to 'PCM" too. I had to reset my levels in alsamixer. I have a STAC9227.
I have everything working. It just all needed to be readjusted. Plus now I have to have my amp (powered speakers) set at a much higher level than before.
Best regards, Maxim Levitsky
