Arek: Are you filling any bug to The Phonon backend bug tracking platform? Can
you write down the direct link of the bug in this forum?

[amarok] [Bug 380223] Volume settings not in sync with Pulseaudio settings

After my last comment, it seemed to work fine... then it went to sometimes
volume is ok, sometimes it's 0.

About 3 weeks ago i tried switching phonon to gstreamer backend - and that
seemed to fix it :)

I had to delete all config files after that though - otherwise amarok would
constantly stop playing when after each track.

In other words: it seems to be a problem with the vlc phonon backend.

Confirm the bug in my new installation of mageia 6 KDE plasma (the last LTS). I
don't remember if my ~/.kde4/share/config/amarokrc is from my old mageia 5 or
is new (autocreated?).
Master volume was setted to zero. I set now to 0.75 now and it works.

I will check in few days if it return to zero like Arek suggests.

No, those are the only ones. Actually, it's quite surprising you have two
versions of amarok_appletsrc, there should be only one.

There is no Pulseaudio stack in Amarok, just playback code that uses Phonon.

sounds like (as a worst case) a rewrite of the PA stack might be in order :(

As for my situation: changing "Master Volume" to 50 seemed to fix the issue,
but after a few days it returned, and now amarok starts muted again :/.

Even though it doesn't sound like a pure config issue anymore, i'd like to try
moving all my config files and setting amarok up again. In case that solves the
issue, i'll send a diff.

I am currently aware of the following config files:
~/.kde/share/config/amarok-appletsrc
~/.kde/share/config/amarok-appletsrcGx4859.new
~/.kde/share/config/amarok_homerc
~/.kde/share/config/amarokrc

are there any other files i should move?

Is there any reason i should rebuild the database as well? If so, which files
would i have to move and how can i transfer my ratings?

I don't know where that volume=0 comes from, as it certainly is not part of the
default setting. The only possible explanation is that you quit Amarok in a
mute state,and that then caused this to be stored in the settings. Should not
happen indeed.
Since I can't reproduce this (trying to quite when Amarok is muted), I don't
really see how this could be solved.

The volume settings not being in sync is probably some legacy code we used to
work around missing Phonon options. Since PA has been fully integrated now this
would need some more exploration, I just don't know where to start, as it can
be deep in the playback stack of Amarok.

Changing the bug title to reflect the problem.
