I had this same issue (totem was near-silent on a HP DV6000 and DV9000, but everything else was normal -- albeit with an audiable crackling sound when the volume was turned up to 100% all-round.)
I found that the HOWTO listed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=789578 has fixed it for me, with two very minor drawbacks. a) the microphone still exhibits the clicking, static-like noise when you talk into it using the emulated ALSA device (pulse applications like the GStreamer stack with Empathy work fine though) b) the mute button on the quick-play bar ceases to work, but the up-and- down volume slider works correctly. Aside from that, Totem, Rhythmbox, Banshee, Empathy, recordmydesktop and other apps I use are all at the same volume, all the time now. -- [Hardy RC] movie volume in totem noticeably lower than in Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
