Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2019-02-15 13:07:41 UTC
If we right click on the volume plasmoid and select 'Configure Audio Volume', the 'General' tab has a box that allows us to set a maximum volume higher than 100%. 

It would be nice to have the ability to set the value to something lower than 100% as well. This is useful for people with sensitive (not sure if that's the right word) earphones. I currently use my earphones at around 15%, and it would be nice to have the ability to set a maximum value lower than 100% so I don't accidentally blow my ears out while adjusting the volume with the scroll wheel.

Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'.

Allow to set maximum volume < 100%

Summary:
Currently one cannot set the maximum volume < 100%. This feature is required because some earphones / speakers are more sensitive than others and may get damaged at high volumes. In particular, one easily ends up overshooting safe volume levels when using the mouse scroll wheel to change the volume. After this change, one can safely use the mouse wheel to change volume.
FIXED-IN: 5.17.0

Test Plan:
1. Right-click on applet > 'Configure audio volume'.
2. Try to set maximum volume < 100% and click 'OK'.
3. Scroill on the systray icon to change maximum volume. Check if it is limited to the configured maximum.
