Good day I’m using a thinkpad x1 9 generation. After looking everywhere I just can’t find any solution to this issue even after I have reconfigured Alsamixer…
Here is the issue My volume has to be 100% all the time to listen video on youtube some video are super loud some are absolutely low as hell. I’m going to compare this to Windows never had an issue before seem like its proper to manjaro kde. Now I know we can raise the volume on the laptop to 150% but some say that is not good at all for the speakers is this true? I’m the only one with this issue of low volume on thinkpad? the application volume are set to the max too… everything is pretty much looking good and still I’m having a lot of issue to hear anything… Thanks legends!
Welcome to Manjaro forum
On KDE there may be an audio issue with sound servers PulseAudio and Pipewire running concurrently
Please post response to this command to show system information

But an issue with the volume control or loss of audio output might be due to the audio codec not being detected correctly in ALSA
