Hi, Though this is the right place to report. I got this bug opened on Fedora , https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704839 seems no body cares , but on a laptop when we want hear without headphones it helps a lot. 1st - edit /etc/pulse/client.conf and change autospawn = no 2nd - killall pulseaudio 3rd - run on user env: pulseaudio -vvv lets test with kmix I see on pulseaudio logs at maximum : D: alsa-sink.c: Requested volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% D: alsa-sink.c: Got hardware volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% D: alsa-sink.c: Calculated software volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% (accurate-enough=yes) with gnome-control-center -> sound I see on pulseaudio logs at maximum : D: protocol-native.c: Client gnome-control-center changes volume of sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo. D: alsa-sink.c: Requested volume: 0: 153% 1: 153% D: alsa-sink.c: Got hardware volume: 0: 100% 1: 100% D: alsa-sink.c: Calculated software volume: 0: 153% 1: 153% (accurate-enough=no) so how I put kmix also control "software volume" ? http://alsa.opensrc.org/Softvol thanks, -- Sérgio M.

Honestly, I do not understand this wish. It has so many links i do not know where to start. In any case, can't you use http://alsa.opensrc.org/Softvol ? It says, you have to restart KMix once, but that should not be a problem. Are you uisng direct ALSA or Pulseaudio?

I use pulseaudio, pulseaudio use ALSA, and ALSA had implemented "sofvol" Just read my initial comment, why with gnome-control-center -> sound, I can get more 50% of volume than kmix ? .
The 150% thing is a Pulseaudio thing. I don't think it has anything to do with ALSA Softvol - this is why the links confused me. In any case, there is already a wish about that, thus marking this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 297959 ***
