I tried using the following kernel as suggested from this link; http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/linux- headers-4.3.0-040300-generic_4.3.0-040300.201511020949_amd64.deb http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/linux- image-4.3.0-040300-generic_4.3.0-040300.201511020949_amd64.deb This resulted in a unbootable system, so used a previous kernel from Ubuntu menu and then removed the offending kernel image. Also i am using propriety Nvidia drivers, so that could be a cause as the kernel failed to install properly . Preparing to install an upstream kernel First, if one is using select proprietary or out-of-tree modules (ex. vitualbox, nvidia, fglrx, bcmwl, etc.) unless there is an extra package available for the version you are testing, you will need to uninstall the module first, in order to test the mainline kernel. If you do not uninstall these modules first, then the upstream kernel more than likely will not boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516025 Title: Realtek ALC3661 Alienware14 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When watching the following video (but also audio from other programs) with the volume at 100%, the audio loudness is lower in comparison to the same audio being played at 100% in Windows 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQHsXMglC9A ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-image-4.2.0-18-generic 4.2.0-18.22 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-18.22-generic 4.2.3 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: imran 1619 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: imran 1619 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Nov 13 18:08:07 2015 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=2401d43e-85ec-4c88-81c1-c597086504a1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-11-07 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: Alienware Alienware 14 ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-18-generic root=UUID=a534221a-37cb-4092-8ce2-934940eede6d ro quiet splash RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.2.0-18-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.2.0-18-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.149.1 SourcePackage: linux UdevLog: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/udev' UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 04/23/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: Alienware dmi.bios.version: A09 dmi.board.name: 07MJ2Y dmi.board.vendor: Alienware dmi.board.version: A01 dmi.chassis.type: 8 dmi.chassis.vendor: Alienware dmi.chassis.version: A09 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAlienware:bvrA09:bd04/23/2014:svnAlienware:pnAlienware14:pvrA09:rvnAlienware:rn07MJ2Y:rvrA01:cvnAlienware:ct8:cvrA09: dmi.product.name: Alienware 14 dmi.product.version: A09 dmi.sys.vendor: Alienware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1516025/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
