No sound when volume reduced to about 20%

[Elfy]

Binary package hint: pulseaudio

Reducing the volume leads to an abrupt loss of sound at approximately 20%.

Maverick fully updated.

Had the same in the last at least 2 releases.

I'll try and fix this glitch.
If anything, this is probably mostly human error.

[Jacky Alciné (jackyalcine)]

Can you record a screencast so I can literally see your interactions?

[Elfy (elfy)]

No I can't and no it's not.

It's been the same now on a default install for longer than I remember.

I'd not bother and to be frank I'm not really sure why I even bothered reporting it, I'm unsubscribing.

[Elfy (elfy)]

Apologies - I shouldn't have posted when full of cold and flu :(

I made the fatal error of assuming that it was my human error when it's not :)

Thanks for the e-mail - I'm subscribed again and will follow this hopefully to some sort of resolution.
