https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642978 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642978#c0 Summary: pulseaudio runs with 'flat-volumes = yes' as default -- this is dangerous when using headphones ! Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Sound AssignedTo: tiwai@novell.com ReportedBy: madworm_de.novell@spitzenpfeil.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-30.2 Firefox/3.6.10 I listen to music while writing... and every single time I change songs a hilariously loud POP is almost killing my ears. This is annoying and painful. What's also annoying is that with 'flat-volumes = yes' the master volume is changed to the loudest individual stream. If a rogue application should choose to up the volume, my ears get fried. Personally I think the purpose of having a master volume slider is to limit the max volume to avoid this kind of crap, which is totally nullified by 'flat-volumes = yes' ! Proposal: use 'flat-volumes = no' as the default in '/etc/pulse/daemon.conf'. I think the user is clever enough to handle the volume sliders himself. And only because Vista or W7 fiddles with the master volume in this _sick_ way, we don't need that as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. play a song 2. increase the volume for the app. using pavucontrol or with the app. itself 3. master volume is pushed up as well Expected Results: The user should be the _only_ one messing with MASTER VOLUME. -- 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.
