Ubuntu 8.10 volume control help requested
Hello. I can't seem to get enough volume out of Ubuntu 8.10. (When using other OS's it was never an issue.)
I have an ASUS G2S Extreme without any external speakers. However, as above, volume was never an issue before. The little speaker icon on the upper right of the U810 desktop which says "Master" is at 100%. Going to "System" and then "Preferences" and then "Volume Control" - everything is as high as it goes. That menu shows "HDA Intel", "Realtek" and a few "ASLA" items. Everything is as high as it goes yet it's not loud enough to hear my online computer training videos.
Other folks with similar issues have no volume at all, which, is not my case. Also their headphone jacks don't work. Mine headphone jack works. And yes i can hear better with the headphones on, but, something is still not right. This is supposed to be (or was) some fancy gaming laptop that I assume should have some decent volume, and again was much louder under other OS's.
Note: In the BIOS there was some volume setting that was on "4" and I changed it to "8", which, was is now at the maximum. All this change accomplished was to make the boot sounds louder. After the boot however it quiets way down. So, based on this, I know the machine has the capability to be much louder.
If we talk about volume on a scale of 1 - 10, my volume seems to be stuck on "4". Thank you very much for any insight.
