Description Andreas Kloeckner 2012-06-29 11:25:47 UTC
Hi there,

I have a USB headset that reports itself as

Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0d8c:010f C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller

Volume control using pulseaudio is pretty bad on this device, in that "maxed out volume" is loud enough to damage the headphones, and at the low end, the bottom 20% of the volume slider produce silence, and a slight nudge "up" from that silence is already slightly louder than I would like. This might well be the hardware's fault, but it's still annoying, especially given that this chip seems fairly common. (I also bought another piece of USB audio hardware that has it.)

Thanks,
Andreas
