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



As it turns out it was neither kmix nor flat volume through pulse. It was specifically Pidgin's notifications. I've switched notification audio playback from "Automatic" to command and am simply using mplayer. Totally works.

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].
