[Bug 864379] Re: Low volume sound on oneiric

[Buntfu Linux Computers]

I can also confirm this bug and or issue,,, sound works but is
incredibly low with intel onboard audio. I think the issue may be,,, at
least for me that the external audio control is tied to the laptop
speakers. In other works my laptop speakers do not work unless external
audio mixer is unmuted..

however if i plug speakers into the headjack , external audio mixer can
be muted and i will still hear sound. So it seems that it could be
treating intel audio boards as external audio which only gets so loud
because its expecting to be routed to and external amp which its not its
going to the speakers.....

Currently you can not "turn up the volume" when you select external
amplifier. So the usual mixer utilities do not work... In my scenario
which may be everyones similiar scenario it would seem that sound is
being routed to the wrong output .... not sure if there is any kind of
work around but if there is i can't find it after days of scouring.

Hope something pops up.
