Created attachment 157153 [details] For better understanding of the issue SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn on raise maximum volume 2. Try raising volume with buttons to maximum 3. Try lower the volume OBSERVED RESULT Floating box volume level differs from system tray menu level EXPECTED RESULT They should be the same SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 I can raise the volume above 100 with keyboard keys but it's not reflected in floating volume box
Does it work as expected when using the Breeze Plasma theme?
I created a new account to test it and no it doesn't work as expected. You can try yourself, does it work for you?
Yes. Can you verify that your new user account using the default Breeze Plasma theme and that you've checked the "raise maximum volume" checkbox?

Got it thanks. Weird.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Got it thanks. Weird. Do you think it might be some package that i'm missing?
No idea, sorry. But I kind of doubt it.
I found out that if i switch profile to Pro audio, it fixes the issue, i am using pipewire. Is there any way to create a simpler profile than Pro that will work? I only have HiFi quality music profile and Pro audio profile.
So it works with the Pro audio profile and doesn't work with HiFi quality profile? Where exactly are you setting these profiles?
In the sound menu, if you click on 3 stripes next to your speaker device, you'll see audio profiles
Got it. It does seem like the audio profile makes a difference. When I have only one audio device (my laptop's internal audio card), both the "Play HiFi quality Music" and "Pro Audio" profiles work properly. But when I plug in a thunderbolt dock that includes a headphone jack, it shows up as a second audio device, and while this second audio device is visible, switching the laptop audio card to "Pro Audio" breaks it in the way you've described. So this isn't exactly the same issue you're seeing, but it seems related, and the audio profile is a relevant data point.
I cannot fully reproduce, but found a small quirk that might or might not be related. Does this only happen with the volume buttons, or also if you change the volume by scrolling over the plasma applet (mouse wheel-scrolling or touchpad equivalent)? Also, does it make a difference if you change the profile in the Audio settings page (full dialog) vs changing it in the applet? Thanks!
No, I think it does not matter, but u just tried scrolling over it, and it fixes the problem, everything shows like it should.

For me "raise maximum volume" keeps the max volume level at 100%, not 150% like it used to. I can still raise the volume with "pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 150%" but the level meter stays at 100%.
Forgot to add that this is on Fedora 37, Plasma 5.27.4.
