[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#572904: alsa-base: Thinkpad T61 with very low sound pressure level

[Renato S. Yamane]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2
Severity: important

To hear a sound I need set volume level higher than 80%.
Anything below 80% is very very low sound and 100% is not so higher.

I already checked that alsamixer is 100% volume level and added this option in alsa-base.conf:
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad

$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

$ cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep -i codec
Codec: Analog Devices AD1984
