Ubuntu 10.0.04 & Logitech USB Headset: Very Low Volume

[therabyte]

It was working just fine with 9.10. After upgrading to 10.0.0.4 I' m getting a very low output, almost inaudible.

Fixed this problem with alsamixer.

I have the same issue - 10.04 + Logitech USB headset = low volume. Could you explain how you fixed this using alsamixer?

[curiousmonk]

n/m... just had to hit F6 to change soundcard to Logitech USB Headset. Speaker gain had been set to 0.

Excellent, this worked for me too.. Had this issue ever since I upgraded to Lucid.

Would be great if it could be fixed for other people in an update? Almost nobody would expect to use a command line tool to fix this. (Or it could be added to the Sound control panel)

Thanks for posting this. I also have this problem in 11.04 b1... Incredible how such a bug can stay around for so long... I'm gonna report this now on launchpad...

I've reported it here:

oh and for complete newbs:
find "terminal" in prog menu
type alsamixer
hit F6 and choose your USB headset
use the up arrow to crank it up to the top

Thanksss!! That solved my problem with a cheap "3D Sound" USB adapter... those blue ones... lol

Excellent sound now in my netbook with a bad p2 output working in only one channel. Now I can enjoy my new Bose headphones!

Running Ubuntu Natty 11.04
