This question is related to this one asked by willem.hill.
In a nut shell, the problem here is that volume slider in sound doesn't map correctly to alsamixer's volume for AudioEngine D3 USB DAC. The entire volume range in alsamixer is only mapped to a very small portion on sound's volume slide.
slider at 0%
slider at 100%
Please see below for the output of pactl list short sinks
.
1 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED
10 alsa_output.usb-Audioengine_Audioengine_D3_Audioengine-00.iec958-stereo module-alsa-card.c s24le 2ch 44100Hz RUNNING
Can this be fixed by editing analog-output.conf.common
?
Thanks in advance.
