I too have found this to be an issue with bookworm while running Direwolf 1.7. My guess is that this will also work with 1.8. My workaround was to install pule audio then install pauvcontrol
sudo apt-get install pauvcontrol
This will allow for adjustment of levels.
Default is 100% which is too high. It won't
save settings after reboot.
To set pulse settings permenantly:
pactl get-default-source // make sure default is USB card
// this is for input / rcv
pactl get-default-source
alsa_input.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.mono-fallback
pactl get-default-sink // This is for output / xmit
pactl get-default-sink
alsa_output.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.analog-stereo
FOR INPUT (rcv):
pactl set-source-volume alsa_input.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.mono-fallback 10%
FOR OUTPUT (xmit): pactl set-sink-volume $(pactl get-default-sink) 73%
pactl set-sink-volume alsa_output.usb-C-Media_Electronics_Inc._USB_Audio_Device-00.analog-stereo 73%
These percent settings are for my particular sound card. Re-run each command to adjust the settings to your liking.
This will remember your audio settings for you. This command is only found in bookworm, not in previous OS's.
