Like the title says, I have a USB AudioEngine D3 DAC and headphone amplifier with software volume control. I can control the volume fine via alsamixer in a terminal, but that is rather inconvenient. I would like to use the volume control keys on my keyboard as they are meant to be used, but they only set the volume to 0% or 100%. When I press the volume up key once, the volume jumps to 100%, and when I press the volume down key, it jumps to 0%.



Adjusting volume level via the "Settings -> Sound" GUI means I have 0% volume until I drag the volume bar all the way to the right (100%), at which point I get 100% volume.



alsamixer shows the volume at 0% or 100% (as expected, I suppose) when I adjust my sound via sound settings or volume control keys. Setting the volume level to something reasonable via alsamixer results in the "Settings -> Sound" GUI showing 100% volume on its slider bar.



How can I get volume control keys working properly? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Sorry, but I don't have enough reputation to add a comment. I am having the same problem running 16.04 LTS.
Below is the output of pactl list short sinks.



1   alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.analog-stereo  module-alsa-card.c  s16le 2ch 44100Hz   SUSPENDED
10 alsa_output.usb-Audioengine_Audioengine_D3_Audioengine-00.iec958-stereo module-alsa-card.c s24le 2ch 44100Hz RUNNING


Setting volume through alsamixer actually results in a small movement on the slider bar.



slider at 0%
