Does anyone know how to resolve very low sound in Linux Peppermint? If you need to remote in to tweak or fix let me know.

I think Peppermint OS comes with Pulse Audio

you can tweak volume in Pulse Audio setting

I checked volume and its still running low.

you have to open Terminal command to do it

what will happen sometimes GUI don,t work that will for controlling volume


mixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+
Decrease volume by 5%

amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-
Set volume to 50%

amixer -D pulse sset Master 50%


Terminal command to set audio volume

Its not going up, can you teamviewer in Compton and take a look at sound settings?

Open up a Terminal and type

Quote:cat /proc/asound/cards

paste the output please.

cat /proc/asound/cards

This should (assuming its installed) give a UI option in the terminal to adjust each device db level.

You can also use

Quote:cat /proc/asound/devices

This will show each device connected to that sound card.
