Whether amaroK (or any other application) plays a sound file (your music) or the system plays a sound file (system notifications) doesn't matter, it *is* the same source. So the same volume settings apply. No way around that. You can, though, control amaroK's volume to a certain extent in amaroK itself. Try to put amaroK's internal control to 100% and drop PCM a bit lower. It might help though I doubt it will help much. (Don't know for sure because I don't use system notifications.)
