Description David 2020-11-09 19:32:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
Since Fedora 33 I cannot raise volume above 100%

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System settings or volume widget
2. Check for maximum volume setting
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The "set max volume" option is not there anymore, nor anywhere else I could see.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be still available, it's an essential feature.

Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 33
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.73
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can still raise volume above 100% using other methods.

Can you attach a screenshot of what the Audio Volume pop-up looks like for you?

There is a checkbox marked "Raise maximum volume" at the bottom of the pop-up. :) That should do what you want.

Thank you Nate, my bad. I really did not notice that.
Anyway, if I might say, I'd report as an end user that the settings entry was indeed a cool feature and resulted useful in some more use cases (for example situations in which max volume has to be set below 100%, or to a specific value != 150%). It'd be nice to get it back :)

Bye!
