[Bug 478365] Re: No sound when volume control is set at a low level on Karmic

[Marc G.]

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  With gnome-volume-control, it's possible to select the volume output I
  want between 15% and 100%. When the seound volume is set below 15 %,
  there is no sound. The problem is that the sound at 16 % is too loud.
  
  The solution given in Bug #420578 in comment 8 stops the behavior :
  replacing all instance of "volume = merge" with "volume = ignore" in
  /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf*. But this
  solution cause the login sound to be very loud whatever was the sound
  level in the last session.
