https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841487 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841487#c1 --- Comment #1 from Peter Federighi 2013-09-25 19:56:28 UTC --- I have experienced a similar problem. I can change the audio volume via kmix, but most apps and all system event sounds start at 100% (even if I change the Event Sounds Stream volume level). The only reasonable solution I've found is to disable event sounds, leave the volume muted, and adjust it after an app is started. This is from 64 bit DVD install with KDE. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But the master volume should be applied on top of that, i.e. applied relatively. So, the question is when you change the volume in alsamixer, isn't the output volume still changed? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The event sound level (the appearance in kmix) doesn't have to be changed by the master volume. PA can keep separately. The only question is the real loudness you're hearing. If the real audible volume (not the visible bar) doesn't change even after you change the master volume (e.g. via alsamixer), then it's a problem. It means that kmix screws up something severely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Then I reassign to Coolo who should cherry-pick this update for 13.1. AFAICS those commits _were_ cherry-picked to 13.1, but that was after 13.1 Beta1.
