I don't know whether this is a laptop specific problem or not but I only noticed it on my new laptop which I got a week ago (Asus X550LB).
Every time I want to lower the sound volume it goes back to its maximum level. It happens at login/logout or when a notification sound is played or even when I start a new application, no matter which.
I tried checking/unchecking the "restore volumes on login" option in kmix settings to no change.
I didn't have this problem on my previous laptop but I have it now and it's really annoying.
Can someone help me fix this?
Thanks

I have exactly same problem.
Could not figure out what event(program) occur this volume reset.
My previous DE was gnome(-S gnome) and xmonad. Then kde know. I didn't uninstall anything. Pulseaudio on.

sounds like I had this problem. Everything is fine, but system notification sounds are always at 100% even if the sound is at 1%? But some apps respect kmix volume and plays normally, right?
well, I suggest to download "pavucontrol", and check system sounds level. play a bit with pulseaudio settings etc. I believe you are using KDE, also check there settings of sound. Also check out this arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … leshooting
I have never succeed to get KDE to work properly with pulseaudio...
Allergic to admins&moderators. They scare me.

Having this issue also. I'm using an Asus X550ln with KDE Plasma 5. Installing pavucontrol didn't work for me. Has anyone found a fix?

Found solution for anyone else with this issue: edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf and set "flat-volumes = no"
Heres where I got the solution
EDIT: Never mind this didn't work for some reason the first notification I got didnt change the volume

Needing to change Phonon Backend, I experienced it on Debian 9 KDE (Plasma 5) maybe the same solution is good for Arch too, steps:
- Assuming the default one is Phonon Backend VLC change with Phonon GStreamer Backend downloading/installing Phonon Qt5 GStreamer 1.0 backend and suggested plugins gstreamer1.0-plugins-good
gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly.
- Open System Settings>Multimedia>Backend
- Select GStreamer Backend>pull it on top>Apply. Done

Please read the forum code of conduct, especially the section regarding necrobumping.
I'm going to close this old thread now.
