Title: PulseAudio gets muted at 25% on a USB headset
Post by: Kho/Dialga on 04 September 2020, 01:04:45

I just got a USB headset for my computer and it has been working fairly well, except that when lowering my volume to 25% or lower it gets muted.
I've tried adding

Code: [Select]

volume-limit = 0.05

to /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common, but that lowers the volume to the point that it's barely hearable at 25%.
What can I do?

This looks more like an issue in the kernel's USB-audio module or, rather, lack of support in it for your headset's quirks. You should report it upstream along with the headset's USB-id. Another possibility is faulty hardware, unless it works OK elsewhere.

The headset works perfectly in Windows 10 so you're probably right, its probably a kernel issue.
