I was playing a game called Beyond a Steel Sky (unreal engine). I tried
to adjust the game volume in the game's menu to yield to another process
for audio output. This caused the audio to become extremely distorted,
driving my tweeters to dangerous levels. I found that I could partially
correct for this by using pavucontrol to reduce the output volume from
each application to about 15% (-45 db)...
There was no setting or reset command in either alsa or pulseaudio to
correct this. I had to cold-boot the machine to return sound output to
normal.
The motherboard is a TRX40-based threadripper board by MSI, using some
kind of audio chip off of the USB bus.
