 Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2015 2:25 pm Post subject: Sound too low... |
 |
|
I've been trying to figure this out for a while now, but finally gave up and decided I needed some help. In Gentoo my sound volume is WAY too low. I use amplified, external speakers and I have them 3/4 of the way up and my volume at 80% just to hear worth darn. In Debian on this same laptop (and Windows for that matter) the volume was normally at around 50% and speakers were 30% and it was louder. I have my PCM slider maxed out. I have no audio boost controls. What could be wrong here? This one is killing me at times.

I will have to look at the alsamixer tomorrow. The laptop is at my office. I will note that alsamixer showed PCM and master maxed. Also note that if I change it in alsamixer it is instantly reflected in the KDE sound controls, and vice-versa.

| You should check which module is used for your sound card in Debian. There might be also some options that Debian passes to it. Compare alsamixer controls under Debian and under Gentoo. It could be that you miss some codec for your snd_hda_intel (if this is your driver of course). |

I have the correct codec, I verified that. I will post the kernel options, but first this!
Master: 50
PCM: 100
Headphones: 100
Mic: Mute
S/PDIF: Off
Beep: Mute
Line-Out: Auto-Mute
Dock-Mic: Mute
Loopback: Disabled
Kernel Options Under HD Audio:
64 Pre-Allocated Size
Build hwdep interface
Support digital beep via input layer
Support jack plugging notification
Digital beep registration is on
Build IDT/Sigmatel
Build HDMI/DIsplayport
Enable generic HD audio parser
Nothing is selected for PCI devices or generic devices. My soundcard is an IDT. In fact in Windows Dell offers the IDT driver for this laptop. Therefore I am fairly sure IDT is correct.

Yeah, and it is about half of what it should be. I also note that the slider seems to "scale". Like the first quarter of the slider is 1-10, then by the time you're at the top one or two blocks is 90-100. Very strange.
This seems to be an ALSA or Gentoo issue, not sure which. I installed Gentoo AMD64 on a Dell Inspiron and half volume is off on it, and max is like 50%. Mine is essentially the same. It's like 50 = off, max = 50, and no way to get to full volume.

ALSA works on my hardware in Debian, Windows {XP, 7}, and Mint. I do not wish to use OSS. I did give OSS4 a try in Debian and did not like it. Isn't most software now more compatible with ALSA than with OSS, Pulse, or other APIs?
I am on a Dell Latitude E6400, Core2Duo, 8GB DDR2, 1TB advanced format HDD. The Inspiron was for a friend. I believe it was a 1525, but do not hold me to that. It had a Core2Duo and 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB HDD. That's all I remember about it.
I will save you some trouble and post some output for you!

Let me know if you need anything else. My drivers are all built into my kernel. This includes wireless, SATA, audio, video, etc. I built other drivers as modules in case I connect anything.

I do not appear to have "alsa-info.sh" on my system. Is this some other package I need to emerge?

I have alsa-tools and alsa-utils installed. No dice.

I don't see anything off here, but I admittedly do not understand it all 100%.

Is there something wrong, or does everything look good? I am still working on this and it is driving me nuts!

Not sure what happened, but after upgrading to kernel 3.17.8 from 3.17.7, the stuff seems to work MUCH better. It still isn't where it was in Debian, but it is VERY close, and I am happy. I will chalk this up to a bug in ALSA or the older kernel. Either way, it works and I am happy.

I believe I figured it out. I noticed that the second to the last notch on the sliders in KDE are only 60 in alsamixer. So 40% of my volume is in the final two notches in KMix. Something is broken in KMix. Probably a KDE bug that was introduced since whatever Debian is running (KDE 4.2?).

Still getting stomped here. It appears as though KMix saves the control settings once, then never again. Removing ~/.kde4/share/config/kmixctrl, setting audio levels, and logging out causes it to login with the correct levels. However, the KMix sliders are not correct. This is starting to seem like a KDE issue, but what do you think? Below is a screenshot of the ALSA mixer levels and KDE mixer levels. Note that only 60% in ALSA is 97% in KMix. No wonder I cannot make it as loud as it should be!

What should I do?
*EDIT*
After doing more reading I have found a ton of users with my issue. They all state that with sliders below about 70%, you get nothing. Apparently some genius (not sure if this is in KDE or ALSA, still reading) decided we didn't need linear volume control. So at the first notch, you get jack. Second notch, jack. Third notch, get a super-sensitive, $10,000 mic and you MIGHT hear something. This continues to around 70% and then it turns up quickly. This explains why I only have sound at all at the top of my sliders. This is STUPID! Can I force ALSA and/or KMix to use LINEAR volume control as it was in the past? I hate this new setup!

There are plenty of posts on this in the SUSE forums also.
