Bug Description

When i maximize the volume slider on applet it goes 100% but sound starts to be noisy. And when applet's slider maximized i show 100% on sound settings, but also there is unamplified pointer in that same slider and it is more below than 100% when i take down the slider until unamplified the sound returns back normal (clear). Because of that i can't use my keyboard's media keys or volume slider to volume up because it goes over unamplified :(

Are you sure that it is driver bug instead of pulseaudio

there is 6 dB gain in those playback volume controls

I don't know anything about driver issue or anything else :D i just use ubuntu-bug sound and check the options :)
I have only one jack output and one for input. 100% and Unamplified shouldn't be equal? But they are different on sound settings :/

as pulseaudio support software atteunatation, it can also support software gain (amplification) too

Sorry also there is my webcam, i think webcam's built-in mic is shown.
Is there any way to cancel/disable this amplification because i want to 100% to be unamplificated. Its really bad to everytime open sound settings and set slider to unamplificated point :(
