** Description changed: This is intentionally a duplicate of bug #1817485 to collect info on a fresh vanilla install of 18.04.2 after updating to prove that Ubuntu's default session is also effected. I just wanted to collect all pertinent logs to prove that this was in fact an unmolested install. As in the previously filed bug report once over-amplification is switched on only the volume slider in the top panel actually increases the sound above 100%. Neither the slider in the sound settings UI or the keyboard volume hot keys will increase the sound above 100%. So, in use as an HTPC, if you're streaming content in full screen and have the sound set above 100%, when a blaring loud commercial comes on and you turn the volume down with the keyboard hot keys you can't use the keyboard hot-keys to return to that over-amplified state. - I'm attaching a screenshot and I'll also update this with a full step by - step process to reproduce the bug. Either a reboot or logout is required - for the changes to take effect after switching over-amplification on (or - maybe off too). I just need to rinse-n-repeat a few times to be sure so - you won't have to waste time trying to reproduce. + I'm attaching a screenshot. A logout is necessary for the over- + amplification setting to take effect so the steps to reproduce are as + follows: + + (1) Open System Settings > Sound + (2) Toggle Over-Amplification to On + (3) logout and then log back into the default session (this is required) + (4) Open System Settings > Sound and toggle the volume slider to the left, then all the way to the right. + (5) Click on the volume icon in the top panel and you'll see that it's only at about 66% - obviously the two should "sync" but do not ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-15.16~18.04.1-generic 4.18.20 Uname: Linux 4.18.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Feb 25 14:25:01 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-02-25 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190210) ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
