OK, thanks for responses! Looks like problem was on my side.

nolan

on my system it is Output/Audio:media.role:Music={"channelVolumes":[0.953809, 0.953809], "channelMap":["FL", "FR"], "volume":1.000000, "mute":false

Solarmass

elfprince impressive numbers! 😄

Solarmass I don't understand any of them, haha!

Here is what I have :

Output/Audio:media.role:Music={"channelMap":["FL", "FR"], "channelVolumes":[1.000000, 1.000000], "volume":1.000000, "mute":false}

Solarmass

Patrice best numbers so far! 🏆️

Ok, we have enough data! I am closing survey. Budgie users are the best! ☺️

brent

what's the difference between
"channelVolumes":[1.000000, 1.000000]
and
{"channelVolumes":[0.021432, 0.021432], ?
(and why do they change reporting sequence in the output)?

that has stood out to me since 3 days ago but just getting around to asking. inquiring minds etc

Solarmass

brent you're 1st who asked 😄

So you can change volume per applications. On Budgie you can do it in Raven or in Sound settings.
When you do that you would see corresponding volume in "channelVolumes"

brent

Solarmass overamplication @ 105 0r 110 or something is my default (sound settings). maybe it got changed back during that mysterious suddenly-switch-to-low thing which started this thread 🤷 . Between X11 and Wayland Budgies I am paying less attention 🙂

Axios

brent I think default is 1.0 and up to 10.0
"channelVolumes":[1.000000, 1.000000]

brent

Axios I think default is 1.0 and up to 10.0

ah so the over-amplification would not necessarily register in log? hadn't thought of that thank you

Solarmass

brent you can see volume per sinks (pipewire terms) from the terminal using this command:

wpctl status

brent

Solarmass nice tool.
1.32 is the per sinks setting. thanks for that handy thing.

Solarmass

brent enjoy! 1.32 means that your volume set 132% and over-amplification is enabled!

Solarmass 🎶 🤘 🙂
