Hi,

I setup a jack/pulseaudio combo as described here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Musicians_Guide/sect-Musicians_Guide-Integrating_PulseAudio_with_JACK.html

Now I can uses kaffeine, ZynAddSubFX, and HTML5 players (which insist
on pulseaudio as it seems) without hiss and distortion....

...which one major drawback:
The audio is very low in volume...

The alsamixer, which shows "dozens" (...) of bars before
this hack only show one "pulseaudio bar" now...which I turn
to 100%

Which pavucontrol I pushed anything I found, which influences
the audio to max also...not very much of a change.

The physical volume control of my speakers are also at max.

What can I do to get back the full range of volume control
I had previously?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Meino

From=20alsamixer(1):

      -c, --card <card number or identification> 


Just in case it is the soundcard's volume controls that needs adjusting.

(Strangely enough, "-c 0" does *not* select pulseaudio on my system, but the first 
sound card instead.  No options and "-D pulse" work, though.)

From alsamixer(1):

      -c, --card <card number or identification> 


Just in case it is the soundcard's volume controls that needs adjusting.

(Strangely enough, "-c 0" does *not* select pulseaudio on my system, but the first 
sound card instead.  No options and "-D pulse" work, though.)

Hi Marc,

thanks for the hint! ::))

I didn't tried that before, because I thought, that - due to the fact
that alsamixer shows now /pulseaudio/ setting - soemthing general was
broken.

Cheers,
Meino
