Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
After countless releases of Ubuntu since 2007 and still to this day, the volume buttons on my laptop do not make any sense, and I have almost no finite control over my volume.
When I press the volume-up button, PCM and LFE peg themselves to the top and my master goes up slowly thereafter. Unfortunately, this causes audio to be extremely loud, or extremely quiet. No middle-ground.
This has been an issue for a very long time.
