Comment 11 for bug 579290

Hey got an update here. I regularly update the packages on my system, and I'm not sure what package is responsible (new kernel?), but the behaviour seems to have changed for the better. The first indication was after restarting, my music was much quieter than usual, and too quiet even at max volume. Now if I look in alsamixer, adjusting 'Master Front' actually does make a difference to perceived loudness. I reverted the edit I had made to analog-output.conf, and hey presto the volume keys do the right thing, with volume output now ranging from very quiet to max volume, and Master Front/PCM/Front all being adjusted sensibly. Incidentally the 'Headphone' column in alsamixer is now greyed out and disabled. Daniel, I guess the underlying issue with VIA hardware was fixed or worked around? Yay!
