Description of problem: Pulseaudio does not correctly control the volume of sound card Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable) alsa-plugins-pulseaudio i586 1.0.18-3.fc11 pulseaudio i586 0.9.15-11.fc11 How reproducible: Very reproducible on an HP Pavillion DV9657CL Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F11 GA 2. Play sounds/music 3. Set the level of gnome-volume-control-applet to a known value 4. Play sound, the level of the sound will increment with each sound played Actual results: Started with the output level at 48% after first sound was played, the output level incremented to 73%, on the second sound event the output level incremented to 110%, on the third sound event the output level incremented to 135% Expected results: Expected the output level to remain at some fixed output level, defined by the slider bar in the gnome-volume-control-applet Additional info: Attempted to disable flat-volume by issuing the command: echo "flat-volumes = no" >> /etc/pulse/daemon.conf This seemed to make a slight difference but at times the output level would still increase, there have been times where the sound has been muted and still produces output. Here is some additional information about my system: Output of alsa-info.sh: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ed09fd88afb388731a383c337dba36d6d31339a8 Smolt Profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_c51b9c0c-00e4-48bb-9b10-730a86c8cae9
I'm also experiencing this strange behaviour in Pulseaudio. Interestingly, I didn't experience this when testing the pre-release versions of Fedora 11. Smolt profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_0e934c7d-b9c7-4591-9eb4-a8c01b4501e6 I'm also attaching the output of alsa-info.

(In reply to comment #3) > Is this a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501972 ? While related I don't think it's a duplicate as they touch different subjects.
Actually, now that I re-read both of the bug reports, I think they are the same. For some reason I read both of them wrong.
Scott, which application are you using to play those sounds.
Oops, s/./?/
Lennart, These symptoms have occurred in many applications, Xchat, Firefox, Juk, basically any application that plays a sound. I initially notices it with Xchat as I uses the sound to alert me when somebody says my name. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Lennart, An update on this bug, with these latest packages: pulseaudio-libs-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.20-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-zeroconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 wine-pulseaudio-1.1.23-1.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 xmms-pulse-0.9.4-7.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-esound-compat-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-zeroconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 My audio issue has been resolved, the volume stays set as expected. I am not sure which package fixed the issue but I will be closing this bug as CLOSED ERRATA. If I see the issues again I will open another bug, thanks for you help.
