Re: Uninstalled kmix from Plasma 5, new audio pushes volume to 100%

Thanks for the tip!

So flat-volume wasn't called in the client pulseaudio config file. I figured it was disabled by default, but went ahead and added it in anyhow. So far after restarting my desktop, volume isn't jumping to 100%. I'll update if that changes.

I realized I didn't really need kmix anymore, or so I thought. After removing and restarting the desktop session, whenever audio gets played (like Pidgin's notification sound), regardless of what level the master volume is set at, it'll jump to 100%. The only except is if mute is turned on for master. Not sure if removing kmix broke something.

This sounds like an issue with pulseaudio's flat-volumes.

Try disabling flat-volumes to see if it fixes it.

I opened a bug report long ago to address this issue, but no decision was made [1].
