Re: I see no way to report a bug on "How to report a bug" wiki page

It's not your fault. There is really nothing there under "how to report a bug" about, you know, how to actually report a bug. Maybe this is one reason why pulseaudio has had so many "BLAST AT 100% FULL VOLUME THROUGH YOUR HEADPHONES" bugs. On 11/03/2024 09:28, Martin Guy wrote: Hi!   A

I tested it with pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 0db and it sets the volume to 100%. So the ability to specify absolute decibel values is only useful if you like blasting stuff at greater than or equal to 100% volume On 04/06/2022 08:48, Sean Greenslade wrote: While debugging, I did notice

Here's a warning that if you try this command pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 10.5% Pulseaudio will set your volume to 150% and destroy your ears as well as your headphones. This is the latest in the very long list of times pulseaudio has blasted loud noise at me due to poor design and

I've lost count of the number of times Pulseaudio has been responsible for noise being blasted through my headphones at 100% maximum volume or my speakers suddenly blasting audio at 100% maximum loudness

[pulseaudio-discuss] Streaming audio from a game to voice chat, mixed with audio from microphone

2021-09-28 Thread Patrick May
Hello, I want to stream audio from a game to discord, while also sharing my mic at the same time. This is a very common thing that people do all the time on other operating systems. For some reason this seems to be almost impossible to do with Pulseaudio. Why is it so difficult?

2020-08-04 Thread Patrick May
Hello, If I switch to a virtual terminal and back (eg, ctrl+alt+fX and then ctrl+alt+f7) pulseaudio sets my alsa mixer settings to either 100% MAXIMALLY FUCKING LOUD VOLUME or totally silent. Why is this happening? ___ pulseaudio-discuss mailing

Actually I was wrong -- it's not necessary to log in, just switching to a virtual terminal with Ctrl + Alt + Fx is enough to trigger this stupid behavior. How do you tell pulseaudio to stop doing this? On 20/04/2020 00:23, Patrick May wrote: I've now worked out exactly when it's happening

though - it either sets it to 100% or 0%. But it always does it one way or the other. It also seems to happen when I log out at a virtual terminal. Does anyone know why this is happening? On 19/04/2020 17:52, Patrick May wrote: Hello, Pulseaudio seems to like to set my ALSA mixer settings

Hello, Pulseaudio seems to like to set my ALSA mixer settings to ABSOLUTE COMPLETELY MAXED OUT VOLUME seemingly at random, it seems like it happens usually when I reboot the computer but I'm not sure. I guess it's happening when the pulseaudio daemon gets started. This is resulting in
