PipeWire: Volume is not retained after new pipewire session

Open the-eater opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

When you set the volume of musikcube to e.g. 85%, then reboot the system, and start musikcube again, the volume will still show 85% but in reality is playing at a lower volume, changing the volume jumps it to the correct value

Weird -- I tried to reproduce this issue and couldn't. I did find an edge case where this can happen, but I really doubt it's your problem. You can pull master and try again, but I'd be surprised if it fixed your issue. What distro and version of PipeWire are you running?

hm doesn't fix the issue no

I am using Void Linux with pipewire 0.3.31

oh ho!

guess what I found in my restore-stream file

 "restore.stream.Output/Audio.application.name:musikcube": { "volume": 1.000000, "mute": false, "volumes": [ 0.300001, 0.300001 ], "channels": [ "FL", "FR" ] },

yep that fixed it, so if you play musikcube via PulseAudio it will make the restore.stream entry and apparently enforce this until you change volume?
