[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#602973: alsa-utils: Unmute "LFE" channel by default if present

[Andrew Greenberg]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


On MacBook5,2 models, the audio is audible but *very* tinny and quiet.
It turns out that the "LFE" channel (Low Frequency Enhancement?) needs
to be on and set to a reasonable volume as well, in order to have a
"normal" sounding audio.

Please add:

	unmute_and_set_level "LFE" "80%"

to sanify_levels_on_card in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.

Thanks!
