The situation is slightly better in VLC version 2.1.0. But fundamentally, VLC cannot display the correct initial volume since libpulse does not provide the volume early enough. Indeed at the moment, libpulse only provides the volume after the audio stream is created.
So VLC does not know the would-be volume of its stream until after playback is started. To fully fix this bug, libpulse needs to be extended to expose the volume of inactive streams (just like WASAPI does on the Microsoft Windows platform). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040916 Title: vlc shows 100% audio volume where it's actually more To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/1040916/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
