Description stompdagger1 2009-04-18 21:07:04 UTC
Version:           4.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

the current level is 4%, that is too much, it would be great if there will be a feature that enables one to set that level of change

Duplicate of bug 48142
Comment 2 Christian Esken 2011-08-09 21:26:38 UTC
I have implemented it, but will not put it in the GUI. If you want to change it, please quit KMix, and edit the kmixrc configuration file. In the [Global] section. add VolumePercentageStep , e.g:

[Global]
VolumePercentageStep=2.5

This means 2.5%

This goes live with KDE4.8.

Does this bug duplicate bug 48142? Christian, could you set bug 48142 as dup of this bug?
Comment 5 Christian Esken 2011-08-10 20:29:27 UTC
Yes, #48142 is a dup. Thanks for the hint, Alexey.

I would propose to add volume step in kmix configuration. On my laptop default step was 25%, which is clearly too much, and when i set "VolumePercentageStep=1" the step is 3% (it's good for me).
Comment 8 Brallan Aguilar 2013-03-07 03:12:00 UTC
It would be a good improvement :)
Comment 9 Daniel Eckl 2013-03-19 09:14:02 UTC
Seems not to work (anymore?) in Kmix 4.3 running on KDE 4.10.1 (ubuntu 12.10 packages)

Setting is ignored and step size is always 15%.
Comment 10 Andrew 2013-04-23 12:06:25 UTC
Seems broken for me too. VolumePercentageStep set to 4, actual step is 12% (using a mouse wheel on the kmix icon).
KDE 4.10.2 from Fedora 18 x64.
Comment 11 Carl Troein 2013-05-08 12:34:11 UTC
Same thing here on openSuse 12.3 with KMix 4.3 / KDE 4.10.2, except I'm getting 10% changes.
Side note: The default probably ought to be something like 2%, because with 10% there's just one step between normal and painfully loud (or very quiet), at least with my hardware.
Comment 12 okaresz 2013-07-17 12:32:59 UTC
Confirmed, the VolumePercentageStep option works only for global keyboard shortcuts, not the mouse wheel action on applet hover.
Kmix 4.3, KDE 4.10.4
Comment 13 lahirdenganselamat 2013-08-26 00:54:07 UTC
I think the VolumePercentageStep is related with mouse scroll lines on system settings. So if scroll lines is set by 3 lines, and VolumePercentageStep set by 5, we get 3*5=15%. And because I don't know how to quit kmix, I do a reboot to make the settings works. 
I'm using Linuxmint 15 KDE 4.10.5
Comment 14 apache 2013-09-19 15:09:20 UTC
Doesn't work for KDE 4.8.5 (Kubuntu 12.04)

Comment 15 Christian Esken 2013-09-25 23:16:56 UTC
I fixed a KMix's internal handling. There seems to be another issue outside of KMix. Please follow its progress in bug 316546. Thus I will keep this ticket closed.
Comment 16 apache 2015-08-18 12:57:48 UTC
Can you please add this option to kmix GUI in Plasma 5, please?
