'Master Front' seems to be set to zero. Please raise its level.

[oschwa2s (oliver-schwaneberg)]

That's it, Daniel! The drivers are working correctly but the volume of 'Master Front' is zero by default.
Note: You cannot see the settings for 'Master Front' and some other values in the new volume control gui of Karmic Koala!
I think cleaning up the volume control was a good thing to do, but there should by something like "advanced properties" to access every value you can see and modify in the old alsamixer.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

Thanks for confirming. Would you test if Master Front only controls
the front stereo speakers (i.e., what your Front mixer element
controls), or does it act like a master volume?

Hi oschwa2s,

Please, if you are still having issues, test with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p alsa-base 466856

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds .

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

Please let us know your results.
