I am pretty much a beginner with desktop linux and I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my newly bought Lenovo P51s. Works fine besides a strange sound problem:




  • Sound output (internal speakers) is at very low volume and the sound quality is terribly poor (like out of a tin can) when played from Chrome/Chromium, Rhytmbox, VLC, etc.

  • But: Volume and quality is fine when played from Firefox

  • If any source besides Firefox is already playing sound, sound from Firefox is also bad.


  • pavucontrol shows same level for all applications. Moving beyond 100% leads to distortion.


  • alsamixer: all 100%


My audio device is a



aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC298 Analog [ALC298 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #


Any suggestions? Is this a known issue? What kind of information should i additionally provide?
