Version: 4:5.5.4-1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,
I am reporting this with an high severity, because this can cause hear loss.
On a default install of debian with kde (recommends enabled), when playing
music,
when a KDE notification appears, the overall volume goes up to 100%, which can
cause hearing loss.
I have tried to replicate, pressing "test" in systemsettings, for the audio
output of the notifications, and the volume always goes to 100%, regardless of
the initial value.
Sometimes the volume of amarok remains unchanged, and sometimes it goes to 100%
as well.
Since this is probably a very complicated issue that might be caused by
pulseaudio,
phonon, vlc as phonon backend or kdelibs, and it will probably take many years
to be
fixed, I suggest to ship plasma with a sane default and disable all audio
notifications by default.
This is probably the best solution in the short term. And I don't think this can
wait, since blasting sound at 100% volume when my setting was 12% can be
dangerous.
I hope you will not ignore this.
Best
