[SOLVED] Gnome 3 - Audio gets loud for a while after changing volume

I'm running gnome 3.4.2 (info from gnome-session --version), running pulse audio.
Every time I increase or decrease volume music gets really loud for a few milliseconds and then it gets back to be "quiet".
The only "hint" what to do with this I found was to turn off alert sound (already done), but it doesn't work. And this is really getting annoying.
I have now idea what info is relevant for solving this problem so please just ask and I add more.
BTW: I have a feeling that whole system is "quiet" (I'm running almost all the time at 90-95% of max volume).

Do you have pulseaudio-alsa installed?

  • Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?

    Thank you for you help in advance

    If you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
    Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US).

  • I can't get my iMessage to work after changing Apple ID passsword

    How can I get my iMessage to work after changing my apple password?

    Well did you change the apple id in imessage?
    settings - message - add your new id and delete the old id.
    Or turn off imessage and then back on to reactivate with your new id.

  • Songs get loud for one second at the end of the song in gapless playback

    Since Apple introduced the gapless playback feature I have had this issue where certain songs play loudly for the last second or two of the song. I assume the issue is that the ipod takes that one second chunk in RAM while the hard drive moves to the next song but the one second chunk is set at the wrong volume as the rest of the song.
    Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Yes I have the same problem, actually I'm guessing everyone has the same issue but everyone hasn't realized yet. Problem occurs just after the the backlight turns off.
    After many hours of troubleshooting, I realized the cause is syncing photos.
    Tried resetting iPod & and restoring many times, tried different computers (with different new test iTunes/iPhoto libraries), problem occurs with both iLife 2006 & iLife 2008.
    Took back to Apple Ginza store in Tokyo for testing and a different iPod nano 8GB 3G has the same issue. Staff believed it was a firmware issue and filed a report. A few days later 1.0.1 firmware was released but still didn't fix the issue.
    I have yet to file a bug report with Apple myself.
    My screen also seems to be rotated about 1mm.

    Hi,
    Check the applets in the view & the BC. Is the BC or Applet has any searchspec on it? If so, check whether INDEX has been created fore the respective column of the fields. This could be main reason. Create INDEX and try again. (Because in your case no error is appearing in the screen.)

  • Get buttons for podcasts disappeared after iTunes update

    I updated iTunes to 10.5.3.3 the other day, and now the GET buttons for my subscribed podcasts have disappeared. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how do you fix it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Elesar

    When this happened to me, a while ago, I downloaded iTunes (again) and ran the Repair option.
    So, do not uninstall the current iTunes, but do download iTunes again. Run the installer and at some stage, you should see a Repair option. Use that.

    Today, (Kernel  3.10.5-1, VMware Player version 5.02 with kernel patches) the modules could successful be generated from the CLI:
    vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
    Solved (somehow).

  • I can not get my mouse to work after changing the batteries

    I can not get my wireless mouse to work after changing the batteries

    Some ‘dumb’ questions just so we don’t assume what you have done:
    Batteries installed with both + poles pointing to the top as you hold the mouse?
    Mouse switch has been returned to the ‘on’ position - do you see a green light?  First it will be solid green and then flashing green as the mouse tries to pair with the computer.
    Try clicking the mouse a few times as it’s trying to pair.
    If you don’t see a green light, try wiping off all battery contacts and reinserting the batteries.  If still no green light and the mouse switch is ‘on’, are these old rechargeable batteries that been recharged many times or are they fresh normal batteries (not rechargeable batteries)?

  • Split view for before and after changes?

    One feature I used to use a lot on Lightroom as where it would show a split view showing the image before and after changes (adjustments). I cannot find how to do this in Aperture - is it possible, what is this feature called?
    (and before any smart person tells me to look in help, I'm tired of responses like that. I've looked and didn't find, and that's why I'm asking here. I've tried Compare, and Before and After Changes etc.)

    Unfortunately, no, there is no ability to do the split view like Lightroom has. It's a nice feature.
    The closest you can do is to flip back and forth between two versions. Because when you view the master in aperture it shows the original file without crops and straightening, I suggest that once you crop and straighten, you then create a new version and work on that (this is as close as you can get to LR's "snapshot" functionality). You can then flip back and forth between the two versions to see the changes... but you can't see them side by side with a split.

    Rahul

    Hi,
    In IMPORT PO, first step while creating PO, deselect the GR based IV.
    and for CVD(JCV1), give the custom as vender and save.
    2. Go to MIRO, selct the planned delivery cost and do the MIRO.
    3. go to J1IEX, capture Excise Invoice....here give the commercial Invoice Number i.e. your MIRO document number.
    4. Go to MIGO, as soon as u gave the PO number, system will ask for commercial Invoice Numer.
    5. After posting Part1 in MIGO, go to J1iex now to post cenvat amount.

  • Backround audio too loud for the Smithsonian Channel

    I'm not sure if this is something Comcast has a hand in, but for the Smithsonian Channel, the background music is louder than the main audio. Watching Aerial America is nearly impossible since you can hardly hear what the guy was saying.

    I think I might have figured out why the volume is bothering me. 
    On my iMac, I have a decent set of Creative external speakers hooked up and it has an external volume/bass controler w/ headphone jack.  I've set up the volume on the speakers to a comfortable level, and use the iMac internal sound control to do minor editing - which is normally set around 11 out of the 16 "notches" and that way I can increase/decrease w/o fiddling with my Creative volume control. 
    But when I unplug those speakers out of my iMac, I end up with the insane volume that I'm not used to (I jumped when the sound played and had to mute it.  XD  I think I should start video logging my troubleshooting for the lulz.)  I also figured out that the system remembers the sound levels when you plug/unplug headphones/external speakers.  Very handy.  :3
    So, I'm just used to having a fine tuned control over my sound, and when I started playing on my MBAir, I thought something was wrong.  I'm probably just going to go get myself a really good set of headphones that have a volume control on them so I can get the same results I get from my iMac. 
    Thanks for the help!  <3  I'll let y'all know if I run into anymore problems!

  • Why do I get charged for data while I am connected to WiFi?

    I am having issues with data usage on one of the 5 iPhones on my plan and have been keeping track of the data on all of the phones on my plan. I have noticed that I am being billed for data at night while I am sleeping and my phone is connected to my home wifi. Why is this? Is it just a way for Verizon to make more money? 

    Are you certain that you are connected to your home WiFi? If you are truly connected to WiFi, then the data connection from VZW should be disconnected. I would recommend checking your settings to ensure you are truly indeed connected to WiFi in your home and if so, then I would then suggest contacting Tier 2 technical support at VZW by calling 611 from another device so that you can work with support with your phone while on the line with them.
    NOTE: iOS devices do NOT support WPS directly and if you are attempting to connect your home WiFi in this fashion, you will need to log into your home router and get the exact Paraphrase for your router and enter that into your iPhone.
    Hope this makes sense and helps.
    Best Wishes,

  • JFrame getting hanged for a while

    Hi,
    I have a swing application. It has got two text fields for getting the input files. And on the click of a button, an actionEvent has will be triggered which will validate these files.
    My question is if these files are huge, I mean if it takes around 5 minutes for validating these files, for that particular period of time, the Frame goes into an hanged state.
    Is there any workaround for this.
