2010-03-10 03:05:40 Daniel T Chen affects pulseaudio (Ubuntu) alsa-driver (Ubuntu)
2010-03-10 03:06:12 Daniel T Chen description Binary package hint: pulseaudio I have a CMI106 usb sound card (the cheap chinese ones like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-7-1-Ch-Optical-Audio-Sound-Card-SPDIF-Adapter_W0QQitemZ320447866154QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4a9c2e652a#ht_2096wt_954 ) It behaves... strangely. I thought I'd at least report what the syslog tells me: Mar 9 20:39:26 kiki kernel: [ 502.376044] usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 Mar 9 20:39:26 kiki kernel: [ 502.605415] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Mar 9 20:39:26 kiki kernel: [ 502.702501] input: USB Sound Device as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.3/input/input11 Mar 9 20:39:26 kiki kernel: [ 502.702841] generic-usb 0003:0D8C:0102.0003: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.00 Device [USB Sound Device ] on usb-0000:00:1d.1-2/input3 Mar 9 20:39:27 kiki pulseaudio[1143]: alsa-mixer.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 0.00 dB to 0.00 dB which makes no sense.

Mar 9 20:39:27 kiki rtkit-daemon[1145]: Supervising 4 threads of 1 processes of 1 users. This is on ubuntu karmic koala. The "pulseaudio complains that the volume range is impossible" part was also present in ubuntu 9.10, except that it said "from -16 dB to -16 dB". Some symptoms I'm seeing: - unreliable volume vumeters in pavucontrol - plugging a headset mic into the sound card's mic input works, but plugging normal boom mics doesn't work at all. I tried two different mics: a cheap dynamic mic with an on/off switch, and an electret condenser mic with a battery in it. Both boom mics work if I plug them in the onboard soundcard of the computer instead of the USB sound card. I don't know what to do. Also, I left this bug be filed on pulseaudio, but according to pulseaudio it's an alsa bug. I don't know the correct alsa package name to file this upon.
