I can change the volume of my PC by moving the mouse over the volume symbol in the system tray (KMix I think?). Scrolling over this icon changes volume, which is quite handy. Sadly the amount of the change is set to 7% which is quite a huge step. When I listen to music I have around 25% volume in total. My questions are: 1. Can one configure the step value from 7% to 1%? So that the volume changes one percent after the other. 2. If there is no such option, why not just setting the default to 1%? Scrolling can be done fast. So having a more fine grained control is better than huge steps.
A possible dublicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189995 With the KMix 16.08.3 (KF5) it is possible to set the step by 1) Stop kmix: kquitapp5 kmix 2) Set the step to 1%: kwriteconfig5 --file kmixrc --group Global --key VolumePercentageStep 1.0 3) Restart the kmix with the command: kmix Older from the KDE Forums - with the KDE4: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=92925 Same kind of with the plasma-pa: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/3kmpe5/how_do_i_change_the_volume_step_percentage_with/
It seems I'm not using KMix but the kde5 plasmoid volume applet. So, the last link you provided explains a working solution for me: in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.volume/contents/ui/ListItemBase.qml in the method increaseVolume() and decreaseVolume() change var step = slider.maximumValue / 15; to var step = slider.maximumValue / 100; This will change the value in 1% steps. Logout and login again to have changes take effect. If I wanted to make this configurable in the UI of the plasmoid's settings, where would I do this and is this easy or not? I think such an option would be useful. Anyway, this ticket can be closed. Thx.
