[SOLVED]Volume resets to Maximum each Time I resume a video or song

Everytime any sort of soun is played on my fresh arch linux install, the volume is maxed out. When I turn the volume down, the volume stays where I set it until the sound stops, then the volume is set to maximum the next time any sort of audio is played. Any help regarding this issue, and my ears would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

You need to give us more information...what DE/WM are you using, what audio software is installed, have you searched logs/etc.

Maybe flat volumes are at fault. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … is_started

Thank you both for the help! I am using MATE as the DE with ALSA and pulseaudio... It seems that lucke's post has solved the issue for me! Thank you so much!! Silly me for now reading the wiki enough.
