Re: Volume control on debian system? (Was: Bug#985666: alsa-utils: no sound after installation)



Hi, I am able to use alsamixer to change the volume when espeakup is running and also use the speakup keys to change the speech volume.  I prefer to have the laptop master and PCM set at %100 then change volume controls per application as needed.  The volume should be at a highor level then it was as the PCM when I raised it to %100 the espeakup volume at it's default was very low still.  Nick Gawronski

Hi, Yes now that both volumes are at %100 the speakup volume controls work
as normal.  Should not the master and PCM be set to %100 by default after a
new installation?
Not necessarily 100%, because that might be way too loud for some
setups.

But it should be possible for the user to be able to raise to 100%
easily. I see that I had made that possible only for the installer,
because there you cannot easily use a mixer, and for the installed
system rather let alsa scripts set it up. The rationale I had taken note
of was that the speakup-provided volume control was perhaps not precise
enough. Indeed, once you make espeakup control the card volume, you
cannot tune it with a mixer any more since espeakup will try to override
it over and over.

So the question is raised: are people fine with the granularity that the
speakup shortcut provides in the Debian installer?
