[SOLVED] Very low sound level after installing kernel26-2.6.30
I can't see this issue anywhere, so I'm sorry if I duplicate it here.
Since the upgrade to 2.6.30, the sound on my desktop system (VIA P4M890) is very low. (I also have a Thinkpad with an Intel GM45 chipset, and this is working like a charm.)
I'm using a very simple ALSA configuration. There is sound, but it is just almost inaudible. I've set the highest possible level in alsamixer and when I turn up the volume to the maximum, I can hear sound. But it is very weak and not very clear. It's not related to hardware failure: rolling back to 2.6.29 fixes the problem.
Did anyone detect the same issue?

I had a similar problem, but then found there was a new channel in alsamixer for "Speaker" which needed to be turned up...

In fact, I didn't have that new channel, but I set the VIA DXS mixers to 100% (like described here: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Via) and now everything is working.
Great!
