Hi All, I have been wrestling with this problem for months now and at my wits end. The sound is always very low and if I try to bring the sound louder by using the sound references icon on the top panel, the sound is choppy with lots of static. Output of lspci for the sound device is as follows: 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) Please, could someone help me out to get this irritating problem solved? Thank you for your time, Phil

At home, I've found that if, for example, I use realplayer, and set a volume, and then try to use mplayer, or vice versa, I can't make the volume go louder than had been set at max on the first-used player. Close the second, make the first volume louder, and no problem. Have you run the configuration as root, and run the test? mark

I'm still running 5.8 at home, and I think I had something like system-config-sound. I s'pose I need to dig into this more.... mark
