PulseAudio changes the sink volume depending on the app's volume. That's called flat-volumes. Hi Bastien, I'm not sure what "sink volume" is, but the volume behaviour I've described can't be something done on purpose, are you saying it is? I'm not sure I understand your comment 100%. I was always different to this in other releases. Came across the same problem in totem, so this is probably a gstreamer related issue. Yes, we are trying to minimize the number of independent volume sliders in our pipeline, so that users are not confused which volume slider is the one that causes their audio to be too faint. The way flat volumes implement this is that the device ("sink") volume is always set to the max of the streams connected to it. That way changing the stream volumes always feeds back to the device volume which should minimize confusion and make sure we always use the optimum hardware DAC range for best quality. So, this is a change in behaviour but actually a feature not a bug, so I am closing this now. |
