Startup sound volume uncontrollable, always jumps to 100%.
Posted: Feb 17th, '17, 04:48My question is why does the volume always jump to 100% when startup or shutdown sound plays? 
This can't, and shouldn't be desired behavior (IMO). 
Before anyone posts about where the volume controls are I know where they are. I'm using fully updated Mageia 6 sta 1 with Plasma5. This should be possible to set with PulseAudio Volume Control. Doesn't work, as soon as startup or shutdown sound plays volume jumps to 100%. I'm aware of the 'Set as Fallback' button in PAVC. That also doesn't work. Setting sound with alsamixer and running 'alsactl store' as root also doesn't work. So how can I get startup/shutdown volume to remain at say 50%? I would like to not have to disable startup sound but the to loud 100% volume is incompatible with apartment living.
