Before 5.19, I could increase the maximum volume per application (stream) from volume plasmoid directly. Now, that functionality is gone, and I need to open volume settings for that. Thing is: there is a checkbox for increasing maximum volume, couldn't that be used to increase maximum volume in a per app/stream basis as well? Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.6.15-zen2-1-zen OS Type: 64 bits Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six-Core Processor Memory: 15,6 GiB de RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2
The functionality is now visible in the main view itself, via the checkbox on the bottom of the plasmoid. :)
Although it works for main volume, it doesn't apply per application. (Application tab of the volume plasmoid)

The "raise maximum volume" setting is now systemwide, not per-device or per-app. So Firefox's effective maximum volume is likewise raised when you check the checkbox.

I can raise maximum volume per application for example using pavucontrol-qt. It's also doable in System Settings > Audio > Playback Streams. So why can't it be conveinetly done from the Audio Volume plasmoid anymore? Right now to raise it for individual application requires opening pavucontrol-qt or doing these multiple steps: click on audio volume icon > click on sandwich menu icon (More actions) > Configure audio devices > Playback Streams. It should be simpler by checking Raise Maximum volume checkbox in the Applications tab there and increasing the volume above 100% right there.
So I'd say it's a regression and would be good to reopen this.
Should I open a separate bug about it? I think this one is good already to indicate the problem.
