The problem remains after upgrading to 2.6.30-std-def-alt14 from Sisyphus. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #21195 +++ Created an attachment (id=3772) system-report (Desktop 4.1) The sound is very quiet even when the volume setting is maximal on HDA Intel (Realtek) soundacrd (in a Sony Vaio). This true for both the embedded loudspeaker and for external loudspeakers plugged into the headphones jack. But after rebooting from Windows the sound is satisfactorily loud (and also in Windows the sound is OK). After turning the power of the computer off the sound is again very quiet. Info: # lspci | fgrep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) # uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.25-std-def-alt8.M41.1 #1 SMP Thu Sep 11 01:14:41 MSD 2008 i686 GNU/Linux kernel-modules-alsa-std-def-1.0.16-alt4.132633.8.M41.1 libalsa-1.0.15-alt1
Finally, this is fixed in 2.6.32-std-def-alt15.
