I'm using pulseaudio 0.9.10 on an:
{{{
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev
a2)
}}}
but I have noticed a strange artifact.
If I put the volume for an application stream at "50%" (i.e. -15db) and
then set the master volume at 50% or lower, the sound actually mutes. If
I keep the stream at 0db, I'm then able to enjoy the use of the master
volume through it's entire range.
The inverse is also true. If I have the master volume at 50%, when stream
is at -15db or lower, it mutes completely. If I have the master volume at
100%, then I can enjoy the full range of volume on the stream.
It seems like the stream volumes and the master volume are being
"additive" rather than, hrm, what would I call it? Maybe multiplicative
is the right term. Perhaps. Anyway, I think you get the picture.
Interestingly enough, I found one other complaint about this at
