Logitech USB Headset Low Sound

[Just_Edd]

hi, i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and everything is ok except my USB Logitech Headset. The problem is that volume of the device is very low and i can't hear the music or any sound like i use to heard. Even if i increase the volume up to 100%, i still hearing the sound with a very low volume. but if i use the analog output of my sound card i can hear very well. I remember that i used to have this problem in ubuntu 9.10 but i fixed with a script that i found it in this forum, but i can't find it again. I don't know how to fix it. Thank you for your help.

Open a terminal. put in alsmixer and select the usb headset and adjust the sound from there. I worked for me.

Wow, worked for me too on Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04. I've been trying to figure out this one for a while. Looks like it will fix my front mic problems too.

Odd though that the graphical alsa mixer couldn't fix this.

Having the same problem with the platronics usb headset, but the pcm volume is 100 % at alsamixer

I got the same problem when I upgraded to Lucid (10.04). The solution given above worked beautifully -- thanks!

For newbies like myself: To fix this, I put "alsamixer" in terminal, then pressed F6 to select my sound card, used side arrows to select, then up arrow to increase volume.

I just downloaded GNOME ALSA sound mixer from software centre, or you can try another one - ALSA utilities. Both them can let us adjust volume and switch sound card to use.

It worked for me as well but the volume gets back to low when i reboot it. What must i do to keep my settings.
