This was solved by installing the PulseAudio Device Chooser and Volume Control. Ubuntu has changed to using the PulseAudio sound utilities.
I did an upgrade install from Ubuntu 9.04 on this system - the installer installed some PulseAudio components, but not those. I'm not sure if a fresh install would do the same thing - to omit some of the necessary PulseAudio software. So this bug should be credited to the installation process, or documentation, regarding replacement of the OSS or Alsa software with PulseAudio. The related bugs, regarding sound not working at all, are quite possibly the same. I haven't thoroughly checked out the operation yet of the Pulse Audio software, but installing that and selecting an appropriate output mode (there are many) made sound really blare out on the laptop's speakers. -- Sound output with Rhythmbox and pulseaudio is extremely faint https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438474 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
