Description Philippe ROUBACH 2015-06-14 06:23:26 UTC

opensuse 13.1 x86_64
kde 4.14.9

this is an old pb not a new pb with 4.14.9

i open a second session with another user
then
in this session i change the sound level from 100 % to 40 % or i mute the sound system for example
then
i go to the session of the first user
the sound level is decreased to 40 % or muted !

Reproducible: Always

Reported for an old KMix version, but may still be relevant.

Is this using PulseAudio?  If not, then this is expected behaviour - ALSA volumes are set in hardware and are not per-user.  Some distros save and restore the ALSA volumes when a user logs out and then in again, but it is possible that this does not happen when simply switching users.

The same apparently applies to PulseAudio, especially if it is run in system mode.
