| FrozenFire | Someone from #xubuntu suggested that this channel may be able to offer an answer to my question: | 16:59 |

| FrozenFire | It seems like the audio level for my laptop speakers is lower than it's supposed to be, so I always have to max out my master mixer level, and usually have to set the VLC audio level to like 400% with a boost, in order to actually hear it. Is there any way to add a boost to the speaker hardware only, so that when the laptop speakers are in use, they play at a decent level, but when headphones or my aux speakers are in use, it | 16:59 |
| FrozenFire | 's not excessively loud? | 16:59 |
| astraljava | FrozenFire: If alsamixer provides different settings for different outputs, then yes, it's possible. You can check this by either typing `alsamixer` in terminal, or selecting Sound Preferences... in the indicator-applet's volume control. | 17:30 |
| astraljava | ...different outputs for your sound card... | 17:31 |
| astraljava | But if there's a bug of some sort, that makes your speakers volume level really low, then that alone might not be the answer. In that case, I'd suggest joining #alsa, those people can point to the right direction on whether there's a work-around, or you need to file a bug about it. | 17:32 |
| FrozenFire | It looks like the Speaker output control is at 100%, but I know from when I was running Gnome, instead of XFCE, that the sound control was able to add a db boost to the output. | 17:33 |
| astraljava | FrozenFire: Just to make sure, what's the level of PCM in alsamixer? | 18:06 |
| FrozenFire | Sorry, my power went out, though my bouncer was still connected. astraljava, everything is maxed out. | 18:15 |
| astraljava | FrozenFire: Well, then I strongly advise you to join #alsa, present your problem, and ask for guidance on how to proceed. Sounds a little bit like a bug in the driver, but I'm not an expert on such matters. Sorry I can't be of further usage. | 18:40 |
