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?

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'.
