Second Triggering Event Found!!
On resume from sleep (either s2idle or s3 suspend to RAM) the kmix volume automatically goes to 76% (75% shown on the kmix slider)
This I can reproduce 100% of the time. If you are not seeing this when your laptop or desktop comes back from s2idle (new RAM and SSD freeze mode - instant wake, but no full poweroff) or s3 suspend to RAM, then it is likely my HP laptop hardware specific.
But -- this doesn't happen in Leap 15.4 ... ?? Or well.
I thought I would bump this thread again. I've continued to monitor this problem with the kmix sound volume going to 75% randomly (I generally keep it at 57 or 61%). This occurs consistently after using Tbird or Firefox (probably every 3 out of 4 or 5 times I use one of those apps). However, it is not exclusively FF/TB, as it is tripped coming out of sleep as above and also rarely but randomly on other occasions. (random times may be TB waking to check mail or FF doing something with the "Isolate Web Co" processes, but I can't confirm that) If you have seen anything funny with volume automatically changing in Tumbleweed and can add any additional info, please do. I've just kind of been living with this. Otherwise KDE3 is working great. Even this is more the category of "annoyance" as it doesn't effect usability. (now if we fix the random knotify crash that takes the system sounds out -- that would fix an odd usability issue -- but we've lived with that for 15 years...) I've attached the script I've been using to monitor the auto-volume change. You can either run it in the foreground from konsole, etc. or put it in ~/.kde/Autostart to launch it automatically on desktop start. ./script -h displays a short help. If run in the foreground 'q' quits at any time. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
