[opensuse-factory] KDE Volume control resets volume on each pause
Morning, the issue sounds peanuts, but is quite annoying if you have a device where the maximum volume is quite low (in this case: My T520 Laptop): In the system settings one can set the maximum volume for output to 150%. If you start a stream you can increase the volume in the KDE volume control (menu bar) to lets say 150%. Pause the stream: stays on 150%. Play the stream again: Volume reduced to 100%. So you have to pump it up each time you start/stop a stream or audio output. This bug was just introduced in one of the last TW updates , probably between 20180222 and 20180324 Anyone else noticed this? I have opened https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392666 for this -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
Hey, I just tested it with a youtube video and with Cantata/mpd. Cranked it up to about 120% (my ears couldn't stand more), paused the video or the music, waited a bit and started it again. In both instances, they retained their ~120% value. Do you have any specific applications where it happens or does it happen with every program? Might have something to do with flat-volumes. Do you have them enabled? (`grep flat-volume /etc/pulse/daemon.conf`) If so, try disabling them: Set flat-volumes to no in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Restart pulseaudio with `pulseaudio -k` or simply logging out and back in. Greetings On 03.04.2018 09:13, Axel Braun wrote:

Hello Fabian, thanks for x-checking this Am Dienstag, 3. April 2018, 22:45:32 CEST schrieb Fabian Niepelt:

Indeed, youtube worked. I noticed this for notflix as well as ARD.de live stream. Both show up as 'Firefox Audio Stream', partly as 'Plasma audio stream' (after a restart of firefox)
Might have something to do with flat-volumes. Do you have them enabled? (`grep flat-volume /etc/pulse/daemon.conf`) If so, try disabling them:
docb@T520:~> grep flat-volume /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ; flat-volumes = yes
Set flat-volumes to no in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Restart pulseaudio with `pulseaudio -k` or simply logging out and back in.
Indeed that fixed it. Thanks for the hint! Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hm. "flat-volumes = no" should actually be the default since about 2 years. It's normally set in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.d/disable_flat_volumes.conf. Are you missing that file maybe?

No, the file is there, and it contains 'no'. Strange, I have definitely never touched this setting.... Best Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Check the output of "pacmd list-sink" It should show "FLAT_VOLUME" or such if the flat volume is enabled. Try with and without your own setup to see whether it gives any difference or whether it's really due to flat volumes. I quickly checked my laptop running Leap 15.0, and it handles /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.d/disable*.conf properly, the flat volume is disabled there. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

pacmd list | grep FLAT gives no result, so I assume that the flat option is not set anymore Thanks Axel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Run "pacmd list-sinks" instead. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
