Hello,After a fresh install of Fedora 20, 32bit, and adding enough packages to watch YouTube videos, I have sound (for both the YouTube videos and for Clanbomber), but the volume is way too low, almost inaudible.
I have a volume setting widget on the lower panel and I set volume to maximum. I also set the volume to maximum in alsamixer and pavucontrol, even after setting VolumeOverdrive to true in kmixrc. I have kmix running. I removed and installed back pulseaudio to see if it makes a difference, and it seems it does not. When I start kmixctrl in a terminal, it finishes without anything happening.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Best, Oliver
I've been running 64 bit F20 LXDE for some time now, and I had been having tons of hiccups with my sound. I resolved the latest by removing the "pulseaudio" and "alsa-plugins-pulseaudio" packages, and, as someone else suggested, running "sudo alsactl init". The person who suggested that explained that it's often required to be run periodically.
About three days ago, I noticed that my sound was suddenly very low and faint, but I was on my way out of town when I noticed, so I didn't manage to troubleshoot at all, but now that I'm back, I tried that alsactl command again, and it fixed the issue entirely.
To recap, my suggestion to you is:
sudo yum remove pulseaudio alsa-plugins-pulseaudio sudo alsactl init
..and, if that doesn't work, maybe try rebooting and testing again after that.
Good luck.
