Hardware: description: Notebook product: AMILO Pro V3205 vendor: FUJITSU SIEMENS version: Rev 1 serial: YK2H004201 width: 32 bits capabilities: smbios-2.4 dmi-2.4 smp-1.4 smp configuration: boot=oem-specific chassis=notebook cpus=2 uuid=00CAAE3D-9113-0E10-AFC7-E4C0949DBF47 alsa-info.sh: http://pastebin.ca/1050962 I have of course played with all the settings with alsamixer before compiling a kernelmodule. As per the comment to the patch the sound can become very distorted without it. 6 dB works fine for me. For me it is a little strange that it is the PCM volume and not the Master volume that can be boosted. PCM sounds like it would be a internal digital amplification control, Master sounds more like an analog output amplifier control. But thats just me and I don't know the chip at all. regards, Andreas 2008/6/19 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>: > At Wed, 18 Jun 2008 21:58:40 +0200, > =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Andreas_P=E5hlsson?= wrote: >> >> Hello. >> >> I've had a problem with low volume on my laptop and while scratching >> this itch I found the patch titled "hda-codec - Avoid overload of PCM >> volume on Cx5045 codec" I reverted this patch and of course got a lot >> more volume.
