--- Comment #10 from Guido Berhörster
Something is wrong here, I installed OS 13.2 on another computer (default install), then I added KDE 3.5 as well.
The sound system AFAIK is ALSA, and I tried Kmix from 3.5 and 4.1 (KDE),
Please double check pulseaudio isn't running via pgrep -af pulseaudio.
kamix, xfce4-mixer, I am out of ideas what should I try more, and the same thing happens. All of them show shifted volume.
For example, in alsamixer (console app), the volume is set to 50%, but in all GUI mixers is shown as 75%.
(The real value is 50% judging by the actual audio output).
From https://www.kde.org/applications/multimedia/kmix/ it seems kmix directly uses ALSA, xfce4-mixer uses ALSA via gstreamer. So if two independent mixer implementations on top of ALSA exhibit this problem then it might be a problem either in ALSA or the underlying driver, open a new bug against ALSA with the above comment and attach the output generated by /usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh
