[solved] MPlayer and MPD have a shared volume level?

Dethredic · 2010-05-26 18:11:17

So I watch a lot of media on mplayer, and when I am not watching something I am listening to mpd with Sonata open.
My music plays a little louder than my movies / TV, so to get an even volume I set mplayer to like 80% and mpd to 50%.

I am pretty sure this has only been happening recently but I could be wrong, but I found out when I change the volume on mplayer it changes it on mpd and vise versa.

Just wondering if this is supposed to happen / how I can fix it cause it it annoying to always have to change the volume levels.

EDIT: I found out they are both changing the PCM level in alsa.

mpd.conf:

    mixer_type      "software"

mplayer/config:

softvol=1
