I am running OpenSUSE Leap 42.3 on a Lenovo ThinkPad T570. The sound volume through the speakers is very low even when I have it set to 120%. Except for apps in Citrix then the sound is loud.
Very strange. I have tried to set the levels higher in alsa and pulse. I also have tried a Bluetooth headset and plug in headphones.
Nothing seems to work. Sounds coming from Citrix apps are actually quite loud.
Any advice appreciated.
What application do you use to adjust the sound volume?
GNU/Linux with Pulse Audio has another ‘layer’ (albeit that is a crude description) between the alsa sound driver / audio-devices and the multi-media applications.
Have you tried installing the application ‘pavucontrol’ (pulse audio volume control) and also use it to increase the volume on a per application basis?
pavucontrol worked!
Thanks
That’s good news. Thanks for sharing your solution.
