[Alsa-user] Sound on Asus A6T-AP005H

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi,

i'm running Fedora Core 5 on an Asus A6T-AP005H laptop and the sound seems=
 to be running. However there are several small problems. Maybe someone co=
uld help me to fix them.

The major problem i have with the running configuration below is the volum=
e control. When i set the volume to 0 the real volume is in my opinion at =
about 50 % loud. Practically i cannot zero the sound. On the other hand, w=
hen i make the sound louder, somewhere in the middle (at about 50% loudnes=
s) it starts cracking and making strange, very loud noises.

The second problem is with the headphones volume control. It doesn't work =
at all. However muting the headphones work.

Here is some output of my system configuration:
