[SOLVED] Per-app volume configuration

Hey! I am running KDE with Phonon using VLC as a backend. I have the little KMix slider, but I cannot control per-app volume: let's say that I run Spotify, and change the in-app volume -- that would change the system volume as well. Or, the other way around, I change the volume from the tray, and then Spotify changes its volume also. It's not a Spotify problem, since this appears to happen also for Amarok.

Do you have any idea what could be the problem? Thanks!

You'll need pulseaudio I believe.

Is there any KDE equivalent?

Re: [SOLVED] Per-app volume configuration

Thank you, that kind of fixed my problem. However, just out of curiosity, is it normal that scrolling the master volume of the system changes the in-app volume? This did not happen before. More exactly, when I changed the KMix volume to 50%, the amarok volume stayed at 100% and the sound was lower.

Also, if I changed the KMix volume to 50% (and the amarok volume automatically changed to 50%), would the final amarok volume be 50% * 50% = 25%? This kind of puzzles me.

Again, thanks a lot for your help!

Not relevant, but I would recommend using veromix instead of kmix
