Hi, I'm trying to get the following to work: There's a SoundBlaster Live (emu10k1) soundcard in my PC and the bass is set to 90%. This causes a lot of audio distortion on the audio output because Pulseaudio always sets the front volume to 100 % (and keeps resetting it to that value). If I set it down to ~50 %, there are no issues. What I'd like to do now is forcing Pulseaudio to leave my front audio volume where I set it. I've consulted this page: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PulseAudioStoleMyVolumes/ There it says I should add the "control=" parameter to module-alsa-sink, so I added this to my configuration: load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,0 control=PCM Now I have a second sink for the soundcard, but the sound is still cracking and the front volume setting doesn't have any impact on the sound anymore. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks in advance! -Philipp
