When using jackd audio and internal soundcard, sound is way too loud and gets clipped into noise

cn flag

when using standard pulseaudio, my laptop plays audio just fine on both headphones and speakers. However some applications require jack, and although I can start jack fine I can not get sound with it when using the internal sound card. When using a USB card, jack works fine.

Jack with the internal sound is so loud the audio is just clipping. I need to adjust the volume to <10% to have good but way too loud sound. Otherwise it is just clipping and it sounds like white noise. This seems like a driver parameter but I cannot find it...

this is the card info pacmd list-cards

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
