Low volume in activities, or no volume

[davidjim]

In some activities the volume is very low, for example all of TamTam, the Speak face. I've put the volume at its max in sugar and in alsamixer. In some other activities it doesn't even sound, like in Etoys and Scratch. The mystery is that when recording an audio in Record, it does sounds normally, louder than all of the other activities at their best.

Interesting, this should be verified.

I've changed the values in alsamixer using: alsamixer -c 0 -V [capture | playback | all]
and as a result, the volume is now excellent, but I have to make this change everytime I restart the machine, is there a way to run a script or something like that?

Ok, I'll reply myself because, one problem was solved, but there were two different problems. One was that activities had low volume, that is fixed with alsamixer.

But problem number two is that Scratch and Etoys has no volume at all.

I'm using both Soas 0.84 and Strawberry on a Classmate Third Generation.

Bulk change distribution=SoaS -> component=SoaS

Strawberry is no longer supported. If this is still an issue on SoaSv4 please file a new bug.
