However in windows this was not the case, even when my volumn<br> is 50% iam able to hear it loud and clear. Is there any setting that I<br> need to alter to make my laptop audio work reallly good !!!</blockquote><div> </div></div><div>Double click on volume icon on the panel, which open Alsa mixer and you can increase "Front" option to max. Hope this helps you. <br> Also VLC media player has better output than most other media players(I feel).<br></div><div class="im"><div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>To add to that:<br>Double-click on Volume-Control icon.<br> Check each Device from drop-down.<br> Make sure all tracks for device are being shown by clicking Preferences and enabling Volume Tracks.<br> Turn all levels up and make sure nothing is Mute.<br> You *should* have normal sound now ..<br> I'm pretty sure there's a separate gnome-applet for Pulse Audio volume control though? Does anyone know how to access it? I have found in the past that killing Pulse and using Alsa only has given me higher volume, though I wouldn't advise that to anyone really .. better to find out how to fix Pulse.<br> While saying that - I hope Ubuntu devs. will look into it - its a silly issue but really hurts basic usability - its not so straightforward for a newbie to figure out how to turn their volume up, and I've now had this low volume problem across 2 machines and three ubuntu versions - why can't all volume tracks by default be set to full, and people can turn it down if they like, rather than the other way around?<br> <br> Thanks! Best of luck..<br> Sanjay <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <br> Regards<br> Jag<br> <font color="#888888"><br> --<br> ubuntu-in mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in</a><br> </font></blockquote></div></div><br> <br>--<br> ubuntu-in mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in</a><br> <br></blockquote></div><br>
