Hi When system notifications appear, the sound rises to maximum. I reviewed this blog (in Spanish language) where it explains what is the problem. https://deblinux.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/solucion-el-sonido-se-sube-al-maximo-en-kde-al-recibir-notificaciones/ However, in my Debian Distribution and Plasma version, Notifications window doesn't seem to be like in the blog. KDE Plasma: 5.4.3 Qt: 5.5.1 Debian Kernel: 4.5.0-2-amd64 I need to know how to reduce sound volume in my laptop in system notifications, because this is very uncomfortable. Thanks Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to System Preferences 2. Clic on Notifications 3. Appears a Notifications Window, but doesn't appears player options like in the blog. Actual Results: Notifications window doesn't show sound volume options to system notifications Expected Results: system notifications should have player options, and it should allow reduce system notification volume.
This bug is not about Colibri, reassigning.
I've encountered this before. You need to modify your /etc/pulse/daemon.conf so that it says "flat-volumes = no" instead of flat-volumes = yes. Don't forget to uncomment that line.
Flat-volumes=no is the default in pulseaudio. So not a Plasma problem. Please reopen if that doesn't fix it.
Edit. Apparently not: flat-volumes scales the device-volume with the volume of the "loudest" application. For example, raising the VoIP call volume will raise the hardware volume and adjust the music-player volume so it stays where it was, without having to lower the volume of the music-player manually. Defaults to yes upstream, but to no within Arch. Note: The default behavior upstream can sometimes be confusing and some applications, unaware of this feature, can set their volume to 100% at startup, potentially blowing your speakers or your ears. This is why Arch defaults to the classic (ALSA) behavior by setting this to no.
