Description Axel Braun 2018-04-03 07:11:35 UTC 
The issue was introduced in one of the latest plasma-updates( I noticed first in Tumbleweed 20180324). It is quite annoying if you have a device where the maximum volume is quite low (in this case: My T520 Laptop):

In the system settings one can set the maximum volume for output to 150%.
If you start a stream you can increase the volume in the KDE volume control (menu bar) to lets say 150%. Pause the stream: stays on 150%. Play the stream again: Volume reduced to 100%.
Expected behaviour: Volume stays on 150% (or the value it was set to

It seems that this can be worked around by setting 
; flat-volumes = no
in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and then restarting pulseaudio (resp. logging off and on again)

It has nothing to do, you should not use flat-volumes if you don't like it (it is disabled by default in almost all distributions).

Sorry, it has nothing to do with plasma-pa.

Sorry, but I never touched this before.
