Sound level visualization does not match output level

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this issue
Not quite sure what you mean by this ?

Which visualisaton do you refer to ?

Conor

The thing that pops up when you change the volume, to show how loud you have it set.

i.e. the black and grey rectangular notification that appears briefly when you use the hardware volume keys (and soon the scroll on the indicator itself - release 0.5.9) ?

Conor

Yes, that's what I'm referring to.

Okay thx, indicator-sound is not the correct package for this. Pointing it at notify-osd.

Conor

Could you please describe your audio hardware and driver ? The issue could be that the driver is reporting the incorrect volume stepping which could be the reason for your problem.

If you open terminal and capture the output of

lspic | grep -i audio

and then

cat /proc/asound/cards .

That would be helpful.
