--- Begin Message ---Package: kmix Version: 4:15.04.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * I just updated Sid with "apt-get dist-upgrade" * Desktop in use: KDE * This bug can reproduced with "mkdir foo && kwrite foo" in Konsole * Volume level in kmix rises from 0 % to 100 % and system plays an error sound. In my case, there is good amplifier and good speakers, so my hearing may seriously injure with 100 % volume level. If I put level to 0 %, I does not expect any warning sound with HIGH VOLUME. I set severity level to critical, because this can damage my hearing. * Plain error popup message, no sound at all. * Btw, I tried to unset all notification sounds from the system settings, but kwrite always plays this error sound) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (750, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK, LC_CTYPE=en_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages kmix depends on: ii kde-runtime 4:4.14.2-2 ii libasound2 1.0.29-1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libkdecore5 4:4.14.2-5 ii libkdeui5 4:4.14.2-5 ii libplasma3 4:4.14.2-5 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 6.0-5 ii libpulse0 6.0-5 ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.8.7+dfsg-1 ii libqt4-xml 4:4.8.7+dfsg-1 ii libqtcore4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-1 ii libqtgui4 4:4.8.7+dfsg-1 ii libsolid4 4:4.14.2-5 ii libstdc++6 5.1.1-14 kmix recommends no packages. kmix suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Hello, this seems like a pulseaudio bug that also affected me and that the maintainer and authors at the time refused to do anything about. Now that debian is using pipewire by default, it should no longer happen. Feel free to reopen if it happens with pipewire as well. If you are still using pulseaudio, I advice you to use pipewire instead. Best -- Salvo Tomaselli I difensori della morale tradizionale sono raramente persone di cuore.
