It seems to happen randomly. like if I open PulseAudio Volume Control and change it to 100% system sounds play at 100% but it seems the Gnome Sound properties maybe resets it.
At first I thought that the PAVUControl wasn’t saving the settings but it is because when I go back into it later it’s still right.
btw, the xmms sound output is at 100% for front-left and 95% for front-right, and whatever resets the system sounds to 50% ALSO resets the xmms sound output to 100% / 95% …
it is very annoying, especially since i can’t find anything about it in google. This was the only thing. Anyone have an answer? I’d like to use my system sounds (worthless at 50%).
