Description prismatic.project 2015-09-05 16:47:16 UTC 
Distro package version:
15.08.0-2

Occurred after a recent update to 5.4 (which changed or added pulseaudio)? The volume controls were working fine previously but now the event volume jumps up to 100% after first system event after start up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. reboot
2. open up dolphin and create an empty file
3. delete the file (which throws up a confirm dialog with a system sound)

Actual Results:  
Step 3 will cause the volume to jump to 100%. I've disabled flat volumes in pulse audio's config but this issue still persists.

Expected Results:  
Not adjust the volume settings, ever.

I use headphones and now I have to be careful about the volume if I don't want to blow up my ears. The new mixer stuff in general doesn't seem ready yet because breaks or otherwise hinders functionality that was perfectly fine before.

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with KMix 25.12.0
