STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Kasts podcast application 2. Adjust the volume using the internal volume slider (e.g., set to 75%) 3. Close the Kasts application completely 4. Restart the Kasts application OBSERVED RESULT The volume setting is reset to 100% every time the application is restarted, regardless of what volume level was set before closing the application. EXPECTED RESULT The volume setting should be saved and restored to the previously set level (e.g., 75%) when the application is restarted. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0 Qt Version: 6.9.2 Kasts Version: 25.08.01 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Kernel Version: 6.16.8-arch3-1 (64-bit) - Graphics Platform: Wayland - Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8-Core Processor - Memory: 64 GB of RAM (62.7 GB usable) - Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT - Manufacturer: ASUS The issue appears to be related to the application's settings persistence mechanism not properly saving or loading the volume configuration. This affects user experience as users need to readjust the volume every time they start the application.
The volume settings should actually be saved and restored by the underlying audio system, not the application itself. This should work for pulseaudio and pipewire out-of-the-box. Which audio system are you using, and which is the backend audio setting in kasts (VLC, qt multimedia or gstreamer)?

Hi, The audio backend in kasts is "Qt Mulitmedia" "pactl info" says Server String: /run/user/1000/pulse/native Library Protocol Version: 35 Server Protocol Version: 35 Is Local: yes Client Index: 2842 Tile Size: 65472 User Name: **** Host Name: **** Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.9) Server Version: 15.0.0 Default Sample Specification: float32le 2ch 48000Hz Default Channel Map: front-left,front-right Default Sink: alsa_output.pci-0000_0c_00.4.iec958-stereo Default Source: alsa_input.usb-046d_MX_Brio_705_for_Business_2352LZ52R6B8-04.analog-stereo Cookie: 2298:6bc9 "pactl list short" says 1 libpipewire-module-rt { nice.level = -11 rt.prio = 88 #rt.time.soft = -1 #rt.time.hard = -1 #uclamp.min = 0 #uclamp.max = 1024 } 2 libpipewire-module-protocol-native { # List of server Unix sockets, and optionally permissions #sockets = [ { name = "pipewire-0" }, { name = "pipewire-0-manager" } ] } 4 libpipewire-module-profiler { #profile.interval.ms = 0 } 6 libpipewire-module-metadata 8 libpipewire-module-spa-device-factory 10 libpipewire-module-spa-node-factory 12 libpipewire-module-client-node 14 libpipewire-module-client-device 16 libpipewire-module-portal 17 libpipewire-module-access { # Socket-specific access permissions #access.socket = { pipewire-0 = "default", pipewire-0-manager = "unrestricted" } # Deprecated legacy mode (not socket-based), # for now enabled by default if access.socket is not specified #access.legacy = true } 18 libpipewire-module-adapter 20 libpipewire-module-link-factory { #allow.link.passive = false } 22 libpipewire-module-session-manager 536870912 module-always-sink 536870913 module-device-manager 536870914 module-device-restore 536870915 module-stream-restore 51 alsa_output.pci-0000_0c_00.4.iec958-stereo PipeWire s32le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED 51 alsa_output.pci-0000_0c_00.4.iec958-stereo.monitor PipeWire s32le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED 96 alsa_input.usb-046d_MX_Brio_705_for_Business_2352LZ52R6B8-04.analog-stereo PipeWire s16le 2ch 48000Hz SUSPENDED 32 PipeWire * 33 PipeWire pipewire-media-session 34 PipeWire pipewire-media-session 43 PipeWire pipewire 44 PipeWire kded6 58 PipeWire * 59 PipeWire kded6 60 PipeWire plasmashell 61 PipeWire * 62 PipeWire plasmashell 68 PipeWire teams-for-linux 1040 PipeWire librewolf 1041 PipeWire librewolf 2732 PipeWire strawberry 2797 PipeWire librewolf 2798 PipeWire librewolf 2814 PipeWire kasts-bin 2892 PipeWire pactl 0 audio-volume-change s16le 2ch 48000Hz 0,301 46 alsa_card.pci-0000_0a_00.1 alsa 47 alsa_card.pci-0000_0c_00.4 alsa 95 alsa_card.usb-046d_MX_Brio_705_for_Business_2352LZ52R6B8-04 alsa
