Hi
On a Thinkpad X1 (8th generation) I installed freshly Ubuntu 20.04 and the trinity preliminary stable version # Trinity preliminary stable builds deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14 deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-sb focal deps-r14 main-r14
I run into a bizarre sound problem.
First I had to run the advice found in https://askubuntu.com/questions/1230363/20-04-internal-speaker-audio-is-not-...
After starting the Laptop I login to the Ubuntu/Gnome environment. There I use either
1. Google Meet
2. Or an application called collaborate
To do a video conference. The sound of the partner of the conversation is ok, not as loud as in Windows 10 (which the machine has also installed), but ok.
When I log out and log into trinity repeating the steps, the sound I hear is much more silent.
I could not try out skype, since the test call does not recoginise the microphone, but this is a different problem.
When I open in trinity a new session and login into the Ubuntu/GNome environment, the sound still is low.
I tried out pluseaudio or sof-hda-dsp
The Micros which are offered are
1. Default System
2. Sof-hda-dsp digital microphone
3. Sof-hda-dsp digital steoro microphone
The headphones could be either
1. Default
2. Sof-sda-dsp Speaker+Headphone
3. Sof-sda-dsp HDI3/DP3 OUTPUT (not working)
4. Sof-sda-dsp HDI3/DP2 OUTPUT (not working)
5. Sof-sda-dsp HDI3/DP2 OUTPUT (not working)
I am really desperate. I don't have the problem running my Thinkpad X1 (4th generation running Ubuntu 16.04 and the corresponding Trinity version)
Any advice is strongly appreciated. The video issue is essential in the Covid period.
Shall I try to install Ubuntu 18.04 on the new X1? (I can't use 16.04 because the netcard is not supported).
Regards
Uwe Brauer

Did you try pavucontrol? I found out for me (on Debian Buster) that using "Custom" for the master channel and adjusting the volume for the specific source (Skype, Firefox) in pavucontrol solves the "low volume" or mitigates it.

Thanks!! I did not know about it, I just has a quick look, where do you find the specific source the pavucontrol menu, I am unable to find them.

It's a deb package by its own. It needn't be installed by default under Ubuntu.

That indeed solved the problem (I could not find the specific sources such as Firefox etc).

In a completely diferent sound master volume thingy (SMVT, that's oh so technical!), I had to start each of the programs while the SMVT was running so I could set defaults per program. e.g. I couldn't see Firefox unless it was started after the SMVT was already running.
Worth a try?
Best, Michael
