Hi.. This thread caught my eye because I'd been having trouble for a
couple weeks. Have you always had this trouble, or is this something
that just started happening in the last few weeks?
Am asking because I started having a problem. I just assumed "Not
Gonna Take It Anymore" blew out the speakers on my newest secondhand
laptop. Might still be what happened, but it's that part about how low
it is that makes me wonder.
Mine's so low, I have to lean completely against the laptop to hear
anything. Again, it's likely the hardware, but it's sure a funny
coincidence to see that very thing stated on here, too.
pavucontrol is my weapon of choice to get anything resembling sound.
Didn't used to work for me. Had been using aumix for years then it
stopped working. Now pavucontrol(-qt) works mostly dependably,
although I have to log out and back in a couple times a week when it
doesn't make its connection(s) for currently unknown reasons.
