It's a joke.. https://xkcd.com/378/
I believe you're thinking of France's minitel (wikipedia) . I never used or saw it myself. Living in a neighboring country, i did see quite some adds mentioning it on their tv stations. Trente-six-quinze-minitel! Club Dorothée FTW! :)
I'm here just to join you shouting out. Great peace of software.
Best match I could find: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_address_system
We called it the PA. Back in the day when I was involved in organising and setting up parties and small concerts. (each about once a year). Not very accurate (looked it up just now) , but you might hear it referred to as such.
Yellow brick
Another update with some sound specific stuff and a firmware update fixed it! Not sure which one triggered the fix.
Yes, alsamixer
(as does my main volume control app pavucontrol
) does show volume as maxed out. It seems there's something after that that messes with the volume. :(
Hey,
After an update just now (was about 20 days since the previous update) the speaker volume has been drastically reduced on my laptop. Although I do not know they make sense when running pipewire-pulse, I tried the steps described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture/Troubleshooting, except the softvol preamp thing.
I did not find any obviously sound related packages in this last update. My kernel did update to 6.5.5 (from 6.5.3).
Anyone else experiencing volume issues? Or any hints maybe on where or what to look for?
We've even been doing that for thousands of years!
This is so blown out of perspective!
/img pun, I'll get my coat
I'd read more of this.
