Description Arkady Rost 2015-09-10 22:47:46 UTC
When using the phonon-backend-vlc with PulseAudio, the notication volume gets always reset to 100% after any notification event.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open settings manager
2. Change anything
3. Switch to next tab without applying changes (so the notification event is fired)

Actual Results:  
Volume is set to 100%.

Expected Results:  
Volume level mustn't be changed.

It's practically not possible to use headset. Every notification makes me deaf.

Same here with archlinux, plasma-desktop 5.4.1-2. This is a serious regression that is similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324975. Currently workaround is to disable PA's flat volume feature.

dups https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345651, seems upstream.

I have the same problem here. How to we work around that, disabling PA's flat volume (if it really works) ?

    Stupid of me. /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Also seeing funkiness with volume in juk. Starts out loud, lower volume, next is quite. Then if I stop juk or it changes tracks at some point reverts back to full volume. Volume in kmix is different than show in plasma-pa.

This could be a different problem on account of showing different data between kmix and plasma-pa. The two do however calculate percentages differently, so it is hard to say for sure. If you are using the Phonon VLC backend I am however pretty confident that this is also a fallout from Bug #345651.

Marking this bug as duplicate since the original issue described is a result of the aforementioned bug. FTR: we will hopefully have a solution for this with VLC 2.3
