Description Ahmed 2019-10-22 20:00:53 UTC
Maximum Volume is raised to 150% from Audio Volume Settings, but volume can't be raised up more than 100% for the speaker from the volume applet, and I need to check "Raise maximum volume" option for the speaker to be able to go up to 150%, but after restarting my computer I need to check this option again.

I didn't have this issue with KDE Neon before. It is a new issue.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1
Comment 1 Ahmed 2019-10-22 20:11:02 UTC
Also "Raise maximum volume" option was not important at all for me, and I didn't have to use it before KDE Plasma 5.17, because raising the volume to 150% from Audio Volume Settings was working just fine before KDE Plasma 5.17.
Comment 2 Ahmed 2019-10-23 14:51:23 UTC
This issue is still the same with KDE Plasma 5.17.1
Comment 3 Ahmed 2019-10-30 22:08:16 UTC
This issue is still the same with KDE Plasma 5.17.2

Comment 5 Ahmed 2019-11-08 23:29:54 UTC
I don't think that my issue is the same issue as the old issue that I am linked to

I can use hotkeys to raise the volume up to 150%, and I can use the mouse wheel to increase the volume up to 150% when the mouse cursor is above "Audio Volume Applet", but I can't raise the volume to 150% from "Audio Volume Applet" itself unless "Raise maximum volume" is selected from the hamburger menu next to "Speakers".

Oops... I probably misread your report.

What behaviour would you expect? Make state of "Raise maximum volume" checkbox survive reboots - is that all?
Comment 7 Ahmed 2019-11-08 23:48:09 UTC
Yes, I have to use "Raise maximum volume" to be able to get 150% volume bar, and that option doesn't survive reboot.

"Maximum Volume" inside "Audio Volume Settings" = 150%, and this option was enough by its own before updating to KDE neon 5.17.0 user edition, and I didn't have to use "Raise maximum Volume" option at all.

This is now global in Plasma 5.19, and is remembered across reboots.
