When following the standard instructions for adjusting volume (click the sound menu on the menu bar and move the volume slider left or right) I get no change in volume until "Mute". All I get is full volume, regardless of slider position (percentage), or Mute. Other than that, sound is working just fine.

$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
    card 0: DGX [Xonar DGX], device 0: Multichannel [Multichannel]

  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: DGX [Xonar DGX], device 1: Digital [Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1

I doubt it is a hardware issue, as this was working fine on my previous install of 16.04LTS until I broke it, and did a fresh install on a brand new drive

*edit - adding requested output

  • Welcome to askubuntu! Please [edit] your question to include more info. What graphic, where? At the very least include a link to an image so that we have some idea what you are talking about. – Elder Geek Oct 10 '16 at 20:30
  • That's a start but we'll need more: the output of pactl list sinks would help. Also, can you try whether you can gradually adjust the volume with on a lower level, i. e. ALSA instead of PulseAudio? You can control ALSA devices with alsamixer (terminal) or `gnome-alsamixer (GUI). – David Foerster Oct 11 '16 at 18:56
  • alsa has no effect - same issue - I can "adjust" the volume, but it does not affect the actual output

    Command output is being added to my original question
