Hi all,
After finding a fix for the crackling and popping noises that started after installing Karmic, I'm left with two minor Pulseaudio issues. First off, the "Output" percent acts in an unexpected way. In particular, on my system, all sound disappears promptly at 15% while it's nice and audible at 16%. Has anyone else encountered this and, if so, have you found a way to get back the normal "0% = zero sound" state yet?
Finally, I can only switch inputs (i.e. whether to have my Dell XPS M1330 use the built-in microphone or something plugged into the front connector) using alsamixer. The strange thing here is that "Sound Preferences" gives two options for "Connector" (Microphone 1 and Microphone 2), but neither turns off the built-in mic and turns on the front connector. Any thoughts?
Sincerely,
Dima
