A couple of days ago, my system volume dropped to about half of what it was. I now have to have the volume up to 100% for most video and audio files. My first suspicion is the latest kernel update since it’s a release candidate. Is anyone else experiencing this or aware of any audio problems with the latest kernel?
Twelve minutes later I figured it out. Somehow the alsamixer master got lowered to 50%. I raised it to 100% and everything is back to normal. I’d still be interested to know if anyone else experienced this.
I found out this morning that the sound drops back 50% after a reboot. I also have to select a different sound card to access the correct master in alsamixer.
