Limit PulseAudio volume to prevent overdrive
7,152
I had to set flat-volumes = no
in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
in Fedora to stop apps from screwing with volumes. Don't forget to restart PulseAudio after the change.

Is it possible to limit maximum volume in PulseAudio? Currently, PulseAudio sets PCM channel too loud which results in distorted sound. I use
aumix
to turn volume down, but whenever any other sound is played (IM notification etc), PA plays with knobs, turning master volume down and PCM up.aumix ++++++++++++++++++++O+++++<Vol ++++++++++++++++++++O+++++ Pcm ++++++++++++O+++++++++++++
becomes:
aumix ++++++++++++++++O+++++++++<Vol ++++++++++++++++++++++++O+ Pcm ++++++++++++O+++++++++++++
I use OpenSUSE 11.2, pulseaudio 0.9.21, ALSA 1.0.21 and ALC889A sound codec.
