Please make sure this is not applied on digital outputs (i.e. SPDIF and HDMI/DisplayPort). There, 100% is the correct default, especially because volume is expected to be the same by default in the cases of passthrough and normal playback. P.S. I have not read enough context, sorry if this code path is already only ever executed for analog outputs. -- Alexander E. Patrakov
