Limit PulseAudio volume to prevent overdrive
- by el.pescado
Is it possible to limit maximum volume in PulseAudio? Currently, PulseAudio sets PCM channel too loud which results in distorted sound. I use aumix to turn volume down, but whenever any other sound is played (IM notification etc), PA plays with knobs, turning master volume down and PCM up.
aumix ++++++++++++++++++++O+++++<Vol
++++++++++++++++++++O+++++ Pcm ++++++++++++O+++++++++++++
becomes:
aumix ++++++++++++++++O+++++++++<Vol
++++++++++++++++++++++++O+ Pcm ++++++++++++O+++++++++++++
I use OpenSUSE 11.2, pulseaudio 0.9.21, ALSA 1.0.21 and ALC889A sound codec.
