OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.4 - USB Headphones Max Volume Too Low
Jun 6, 2011
I'm trying to use Logitech USB headphones with KDE4 OpenSUSE 11.4 on my laptop computer. They work perfectly on Windows 7 and on my friend's Ubuntu with Gnome. After plugging in the headphones, I went to YaST sound module and configured them with automatic configuration. Next, I switched the primary output to headphones in KMix and muted the internal audio just in case. The output is correctly directed to the headphones but the volume is too low. It is at maximum in KMix but it is still too low to listen to anything.
Using the buttons on the headphones displays the volume gauge on the screen but it doesn't do anything. I've taken a look at the Phonon configuration GUI and it doesn't offer any useful options except that playing the test sounds on headphones confirms that the volume is too low. I'm not eager to use command line tools for sound in OpenSUSE, but I'll try if it's the only way. I'm not even sure how exactly the whole driver/OSS/ALSA/PulseAudio/Phonon/KMix hierarchy works. I once ran alsaconfig on my desktop OpenSUSE 11.x and it absolutely destroyed my sound settings.

I have a Dell Latitude D830, with an intel sound card (see below), and I'm having problems with the granularity of volume control off the headphone jack... In particular, I find that if the combination of master volume and headphone volume is too low, then the headphone jack just stops outputting...
(I.E. Put master at 100%, and I can take headphones down to a few percent, but the lower bound of the headphones is still way too loud, or vise versa, put master at like 10%, and the hadphones will only output for about 80% to 100% range) This is problematic as I use earbuds, and anything over 30% is pretty deafening... I ran gentoo on this laptop for a couple years, no problems, and originally installed debian stable, that worked fine, then changed to debian testing, and ran thru a massive package update and kernel upgrade, and afterward, volume control problems...
cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
HDA Intel at 0xf6ffc000 irq 21

I want the volume to change when I plug in headphones, because my netbook's speakers are really quiet but the earbuds I have are really loud when I plug them in. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid Netbook Edition on an Asus eeePC 1005HA, if that's important.

Ever since upgrading to Karmic, I haven't been able to adjust master volume when my USB headphones are chosen as the output device. If I try to adjust my master volume (via the media keys on my keyboard or gnome-volume-control), the output volume doesn't change until it's entirely muted. I can adjust the master volume fine when I'm outputting through internal audio.I am able to adjust the volume fine on an application-specific basis, but this becomes quite a nuisance, especially when I switch between internal audio (where master volume is regulated) and USB audio (where master volume is always at full-blast). This worked fine in Jaunty, and stopped working once I updated to Karmic. My USB headphones are listed as "Storm HP-USB500 5.1 Headset".

Im having trouble with playing sound in F14. I used to have F12 where everything worked perfect, recently I've changed to F14 (complete reinstall) and I noticed that my speakers don't work and the sound through the headphones is to quiet.It is as if F14 doesn't recognize my sound card?

Removing usb headphones (I tried two brands) from my computer while the volume pop-up is up renders Ubuntu completely unresponsive, it crashes. It leaves behind a black screen with a single underscore at the top left and my mouse pointer (although once it froze with the everything intact, just frozen - did X crashing or something?).I believe it's not that I'm changing the volume, but the pop-up that is crashing things. If I wait for the pop-up to disappear, everything's fine and it doesn't crash when I remove my headphones.
So I removed notify-osd, restarted, and sure enough, that familiar volume pop-up went away. However, it was replaced by its ugly cousin (see attachment), which suffers the same crashing problem. So I was hoping someone would recognise this pop-up and know what package it came from so I can uninstall it (I was just messing with my sound, so it could come from some pulse-audio utility, jackd, fluidsynth - any of that junk).

when my headphones are plugged into my computer, the sound comes from both the speakers AND the headphones. I just want the sound from the headphones if they are plugged in.

I'm having an issue with my computer and the headphones. When I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack, the sound plays through the headphones but it also plays through the speakers as well at the same time. I've attempted to play around with the sound settings to see if I can get this issue resolved but I have not been able too. Computer specifications are in my signature.

System - openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" KDE + gnome base
Hardware - logitech usb headphones with mik
I had a similar problem when using xp. Whenever the headphones were plugged in, the logitech desktop speakers would not work, now the problem is in reverse. Sound comes through the desktop speakers just fine, but the headphones do not play sound for nothing.

I have a problem with sound on a laptop (ASUS X52Je). I have sound from the speakers and in headphones when headphones are connected (jack). Earlier on ubuntu (gnome) after connecting headphones, speakers in the laptop is automatically muted.I would like that when you plug headphones music was only in them, and after disconnecting automatically returned to the speakers in a laptop.

I just installed OpenSUSE 11.3/KDE4 and now I have no sound from the headphone jack. I checked Kmix and everything is fine.I do remember that in OpenSUSE 11.2 I had this similar problem which I solved by switching ON/OFF the "Independent HP" option in Kmix. The problem with 11.3 is that this option is not available in Kmix.

Speakers are worming normally (sound okay) but when headphones are plugged in no sound is produced but the speakers are turned off. The headphones work on a different computer and work under windows 7 on this laptop. I tried to obtain the mmcheck script from one of the threads but can't find it anywhere on openSUSE site.

I recently built a new computer, and my sound works fine, but the speakers don't mute when I plug my headphones in. The headphones work, other than there is also sound coming from the speakers.

I might have a different problems as I have a newer laptop, a HP dv6-2170us with intel i5 cpu. I had no wireless with the 2.6.31 kernel so I upgraded to the 2.6.34 and had to manually compile my wireless driver. Everything works great now except the sound issue. I thought it use to work out the box with the old kernel, but then again I might be wrong. I knwo it works in the "other os" dual booting and all. Its a not a huge issue, but hopeing I could resolve it. Here is some of the info from reading some of the other posts. the model=dell-vostro I just tried to see if that works, which is doesnt, so thats why thats in my sound.conf file.
[Code].....
Have I missed anything? I have tried the fix here: Audio coming from both headphone and laptop speakers - Page 3 - openSUSE Forums page 3 about adding a repo and upgrading, but that upgrade wants me to revert back to the older kernel in which case I dont have wireless support or acpi working proporly, so thats not a doable thing for me.

I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE version (64-bit) on a desktop PC. My sound card is ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 (PCI-E). I am brand-new to the Linux experience. I get audio out to my speakers which are connected to the jacks of the rear I/O panel of my PC. I do not however get audio out to my headphones which are connected to the jack in the front panel. I know that the headphones work fine because they do so when I boot up in Windows XP. Here is what I discovered so far: KMix does not show that I have a front panel audio channel. But when I run AlsaMixer it does show that I have such channel and, upon manually turning the volume on, I do have sound out to the headphones.
Therefore, I deduct that I have some sort of configuration problem with KMix and would like to fix it as I prefer to use the GUI interface instead of the AlsaMixer one. It's just a matter of preference! I would like to troubleshoot things using the Audio Troubleshooting guide (SDB:Audio troubleshooting - openSUSE) but I notice that openSUSE's version 11.4 is not mentioned in it. Should I follow the instructions for version 11.3 or wait for an updated guide?

I've recently installed 11.4 with KDE SC on my Eee PC 1015 PED netbook. I've had absolutely no problems with it, but after a reboot the speakers have stopped playing, I can only hear audio via headphones. I tried many settings in systemsettings and YAST, but nothing helps. Here's all the info I need to provide, according to the sticky thread:
The link from # alsa-info.sh: [URL]
The rest:
Code:
# rpm -qa '*alsa*'
alsa-plugins-pulse-1.0.24-6.1.i586
alsa-firmware-1.0.24.1-3.1.noarch
alsa-plugins-1.0.24-6.1.i586
alsa-oss-1.0.17-32.1.i586

I have an issue where my laptop speakers work just fine, but when I plug in headphones, I get no noise. I'm using openSUSE 11.4.I found others with the same issue, but this guy's solution looks like he might be using some different version and his solution doesn't work (can't find the file he edited).

I'm running squeeze (last updated today), and everything has been working great. There is only thing that would simplify my life minutely..Anybody know how can I have the volume buttons on my laptop change the "pcm" channel volume rather than "master"? If they could control pcm, then I could adjust the volume coming out of my headphones or my computer speaker (both controlled by pcm, but not master...seems strange to me) with just one click.I tried to find this info online, but all results seem to refer to an older version. The simple "click here, set this" solution no longer is possible.

Debian Squeeze 6.0.0 on a Thinkpad T43, sound volume is not synchronized between the laptop volume buttons and GNOME's Volume Applet. So if I turn the volume all the way down with the physical buttons, the volume applet may still indicate 75%.I did not have this problem in Debian Lenny. Pressing the volume buttons used to show a volume bar on the screen, as did pressing the mute button.

Is there a way to default volume to 100% in the terminal with gnome-volume-control-applet or any other program? I am setting up a dedicated Zsnes machine which boots into Fluxbox but the volume is muted by default. There isn't a man page for gnome-volume-control-applet.
When I log into Gnome the volume is set to 100%, but Fluxbox is always set to mute.

I've got my xubuntu 10.10 install just about perfect on a little acer aspire d250, apart from a small sound useability issue: In the interests of simplicity and resource usage I removed pulseaudio. After a bit of fiddling I got it so that my USB soundcard (ProDac) is recognized and automatically set as the default soundcard when plugged in. Any sound applications automatically use the USB sound if it present, no need to around with pulse. The only problem is that my netbook's volume control keys still only control the master volume of the inbuilt soundcard, and have no effect on the usb sound. Does anyone know of a way to change which sound device these keys actually effect? I'd like to write a little script so that when the usb device is detected the keys are remapped.
