If I look at the volume bar in any of the volume apps I can see the slider
jump around reflecting the numbers shown in the output above (100%, 91% or
89%).
As I said I'm not necessarily blaming the software, it could be a hardware
defect, but that's what I would like to find out. Any ideas of what I could
check next?
Thanks!
