Same with pulse audio volume control set to 100%. But if I run the gnome-volume-control it lets me move the volume past 100% and I can then hear it without any obvious distortion. How is it decided what is 100% especially if the volume can be made louder than 100% without any distortion ? Inquiring minds want to know :). -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
