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.--On 26 October 2015 at 03:27, JonAnder Peñalba <jonan.debian@gmail.com> wrote:2015-10-25 12:02 GMT+01:00 Rubin Abdi <rubin@starset.net>: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].
