[Solved] Banshee triggers main volume

I have banshee installed from [extra] and I'm having this weird behaviour with banshee's volume control, if my main, system-wide volume is at 100% I can turn banshee's volume down or up without affecting it, but if my main volume is at, say 50%, and I try raising banshee's volume above 50% then my main volume triggers and goes up too. Also, changing the main volume changes banshee's too

Is it some kind of PulseAudio's issue?

If it helps, this is the console output of banshee:

Re: [Solved] Banshee triggers main volume

As per the wiki,  edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and uncomment "flatvolumes = no" Mine said "yes" so I just uncommented it and changed it to "no". Then log out/log in.
