Created attachment 397949 [details] lsmod output Description of problem: When playing multimedia, that includes audio, using mplayer, the audio jumps to 100% volume at start Ran a full yum update yesterday that included: pulseaudio.x86_64 0:0.9.21-4.fc12 (previous version was pulseaudio-0.9.19-2.fc12.x86_64) This didn't happen before the update (mplayer has not been updated) However, 'play' does not exhibit this problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0:0.9.21-4.fc12 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set volume using Gnome audio output slider to approx 50% 2. Start playing any file containing audio with mplayer from within Gnome terminal Actual results: Volume jumps to 100% at start (slider also moves to 100%) Expected results: Volume should stay where it is (like it did before I ran a yum update) Additional info: Of course I am unsure which part of the sound system is causing the problem since I am only accessing it via the Gnome GUI and Gnome terminal pulseaudio is just an assumption by me FYI: mplayer-1.0-0.111.20091029svn.fc12.x86_64
mplayer has been overriding the volume on each new stream. This has been fixed a while back in mplayer. Make sure to update your version.
