Hi Daniel, Thanks for your reply.
I didn't want to believe this was a pulse bug but I'm even less inclined to believe ALSA could be wrong. I should have mentioned that alsamixer shows the correct dB values for each audio channel of this sound card and has been right for years. Of course, alsamixer doesn't display a "total gain", but if that was calculated as Master + PCM then it would be correct. I'm reluctant to run an automatic tool which would "collect a lot of local information about (my) system" and post it to the web without me being able to check/edit it first. Sorry for the inconvenience but could I provide the info some other way?
