Ring facility in Android Phone increases the system's volume

[VIS-WA]

ATTENTION: GSConnect only supports the latest, stable version of GNOME. We are no longer accepting bug reports for previous versions.

Describe the bug

Terms: Phone -> An android (12) phone having KDE Connect PC -> Personal computer running Ubuntu 22.04 LTE

I have tried ringing the PC from my phone. This features works fine and rings the PC. But at the same time, I have my PC playing music (say the volume is at 25%). When I ring, all the volumes (system, media, notifications) increase to 100%, which may be harmful when using Headphones or similar accessories.

Steps To Reproduce: In PC,

1. Play some music set at 25% (or anything less than 100%)

In Phone (when connected on same network as the PC), 1.Open the KDE Connect app 2. Goto three dots on right top corner ':' 3. Click on the "Ring" button 4. Observer the sound output from PC 5. See/observe the error

Expected behavior

When ringed, only the ringing volume should be at maximum volume while other sounds can be at their initial set volumes.

Thanks for reporting!

What volume would you suggest we set the mixer to? Should we just leave it as is?

[VIS-WA]

Two cases: I) Leave the mixer as it is II) Pause all the playbacks and resume once the ringer is stopped (similar to when a phone call is received)

Anything of the above two should be fine i guess.
