thanks for your reply. i tried xmms,rhytmbox,mplayer,xine... all the same. even aplay! i just give it a aplay without anything else, let it just play nothing , and it still happens. also, same thing with ossemulation and the meantioned apps. every system sound, every icq-beep, everything sets the volume up. to 99% not 100% as i wrote before. i set it to zero, icq makes a noise, it back to 99... dont think its an application problem, as everyapplication that spits out noise seems to do this. even my beloved quake2. jonas On Thu, 2006-10-19 at 13:48 -0400, Lee Revell wrote: > On Thu, 2006-10-19 at 19:47 +0100, sonicx wrote: > > hello again, > > i still havent been able to fix the problem of the self-setting > > pcm_front channel. i have no idea where or how this happens. wasnt able > > to find anything logged about it, nor was i able to google a resolution > > or even find a hint in the soundcardlist. this is my soundcard: > > cat /proc/asound/cards > > 0 [SI7018 ]: SI7018 - SiS SI7018 > > SiS SI7018 PCI Audio at 0xd800, irq 11 > > 1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART > > MPU-401 UART at 0x300, irq 10 > > this didnt happen with a previous install of xubuntu, but i dont quite > > see the difference or what could be the problem as i now use ubuntu. if > > i open up a alsamixer i can see the volume go up everytime i play > > something, resetting just works for the playing song/movie, next title > > and it goes up again. may this be a gnome problem? i fiddled every > > option related to sound in gnome i could find but to no avail. > > someone help me out please, the sound is just terrible this way > > (distorts when pcm_front sets itself to 100%), and i dont have any other > > music source then this machine. id gladly try out whatever tip you can > > give me. thanks, > > Which application are you testing with?
