Description mattloss 2012-02-29 21:00:32 UTC

Version:           2.5-git (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

After un-pausing a track the volume spikes to near 100%.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Happens every time a track is paused and unpaused


Expected Results:  
The volume should not change when pausing and unpausing a track.

I am using the pulseaudio veromix widget for volume control with the phonon-vlc backend.

I can't reproduce this here at all, current git build of today, vlc backend version 0.5.0

Comment 2 Konomi 2012-03-27 00:03:37 UTC

I can confirm this, versions as follows:

Distro: Debian Wheezy
Amarok Version: 2.5.0 (Apt Version: 2.5.0-1)
KDE Version: 4.7.4 (Apt Version: 5:74)
PulseAudio Version: 1.1 (Apt Version: 1.1-3)
LibVLC Version: 2.0.0 (Apt Version: 1:2.0.0-0.1)
VLC Backend Version: 0.5.0 (Apt Version: 0.5.0-1)
GStreamer Backend Version: 4.6.0 (Apt Version: 4:4.6.0.0-1)

How to reproduce: Play a song in Amarok, pause the song move the volume slider in Amarok to 50%, un-pause the song it jumps back to 100%) Note: The slider for LibVLC in KMix jumps back to 100% the slider in Amarok stays at what you set.

Workaround: Switching to the GStreamer Backend cures this issue for me.

I hope this issue is fixed. I'm going to stick with the GStreamer Backend for now.

I couldn't reproduce it as I have all my volume settings to 100% already and change the volume on an external tuner, silly me :(
