[opensuse] 13.2 lower volume
Hi all. Upgraded the laptop to 13.2 from 12.3. Alsamixer and Yast2 both show master and PCM at 100%, but apps seem to have much lower volumes during playback. Now, it _could_ be the vlc version in part.. that's where I notice the volume difference the most. Previous installation was i | vlc | package | 2.0.6-127.2 | x86_64 | (System Packages) Currently installed is: i | vlc | package | 2.2.0-146.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages) Any notions what knobs I could try twisting? I _did_ notice the prior thread and tried changing /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ; flat-volumes = yes to flat-volumes = no With no appreciable result after restarting pulseaudio and checking with `pulseaudio --dump-conf`.

FWIW, removing the (System Packages) versions and installing from the VLC repo was no help with this problem, though also no worse. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

So are you sure there is no other volume control in the chain, such as kmix or something? Are you using KDE or Gnome or PulseAudio? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Fvwm, pulseaudio. I typically adjust volume with alsamixer, or with keybindings mapped to `amixer set Master 2%+`, or directly in VLC (or youtube video volume control). `ps -ef | grep mix` gives no results. `ps -ef | grep pulse` gives mfischer 14912 1 14911 14911 0 Jun08 ? 01:24:56 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog mfischer 14917 14912 14911 14911 0 Jun08 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper VLC audio output module set to 'Pulseaudio audio output'.
