Hi, A few months ago we discussed my proposal to disable PulseAudio flat volumes, as it results in applications setting system volume to 100%, which at best is loud and annoying, and at worst is bad for your ears if you're using headphones; I've had to train myself to avoid this issue by adjusting my headphones' volume with a hardware slider and always leaving the OS volume at 100%, which is a terrible user experience. When last discussed, the working group agreed to ask the PulseAudio developers about the issue, without requiring any changes. Since then, the developers agreed on a solution to fix this problem without disabling flat volumes, but the solution has not been implemented yet. I'm concerned it will not be implemented in time for F24. Due to the severity of the issue, I propose we require flat volumes to be temporarily disabled in Fedora 24 and future Fedora releases until the issue has been fixed. We were planning to vote on this at the working group meeting today, but ran out of time, so working group members should vote here. I am obviously +1. This issue is tracked here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1265267 Michael -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
