Thanks for the reply @nikgnomic
My problem persist, it will be of much help if this can be solved.
Issue
To recap, symptoms
- Master volume adjusts the tweeter speaker.
- But when master volume goes to zero, it mutes the audio completely (tweeter & main speakers)
- Application volume, when for example, Youtube Music is playing on firefox works but reset to the volume set in the browser when a song is changed or skipped to a different time.
Steps taken
- Upgraded to latest kernel
- Re-initialized Alsa mixer
- Switched between pulseaudio and pipwire
- Reset pulseaudio configs
- Confirmed
flat-volumes = no by default
- Use alsamixer with correct soundcard ( 1 = sof-hda-dsp ) to adjust volume settings, same result, master volume adjusts tweeter only
