On my Xubuntu 16.04 laptop I use Pulseaudio volume control to set the volume that I will hear when an application's volume control is set to maximum. To figure out where to set Pulseaudio I open an application (e.g., VLC) and play a video with the application at its maximum volume. This probably results in distortion, so I slide the Pulseaudio control back until the distortion is not audible to me. From then on I just use the volume control in the application and never bother with Pulseaudio. I use VLC a lot, and its volume control is great. You can use the slider, but that is kind of hard to adjust precisely. A much better way is to just use the mouse scroll wheel anywhere on the VLC window - very accurate and easy to do. But I also use Banshee and the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work. All you can do is the slider, and in Banshee it is broken, that is, it works but you move it just a bit upwards and suddenly the sound goes to zero, but then increases if you continue to move it up. I wish they would just give me an option to set the volume by typing a number in a box somewhere. On my laptop there are also keyboard controls using the function keys (mute, up, down), and they work, but to control volume at the level of Pulseaudio, not at the application level. I never use them. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
