volume steps are not ok / no sound if osd shows less than 75% of bar

[Christian Held]

Hi there,

when I use the volume controls of my T60, I can't hear any sound unless the OSD shows more than 75% of the volume bar. Anything below that and I can't hear nay sound. Even if youtube sound or other sound options in players are maxed out, no sound to be heard if volume is below 75%.

The adjustment of the sound via the volume keys is not as good as in Windows.

I am having the same problem, only it affects me (no sound) when the volume level is less than 50% and no matter how I adjust the master volume. I have a gateway mx6448 and my sound card info is:

scandido@scl:~$ aplay -l

Same with me, it just happens below 15%. Lucid Lynx, clean installation.
