Volume is always set at 100% upon login It blasts audio at full volume until I set it lower. pavucontrol-qt always states volume is 100% even when the slider is at about 30%. I have these packages installed pavucontrol-qt 2.2.0-1 alsa-card-profiles 1:1.4.6-1 alsa-lib 1.2.14-1 alsa-plugins 1:1.2.12-4 alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-4 alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.14-2 alsa-utils 1.2.14-1 libpulse 17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1 pipewire-pulse 1:1.4.6-1 pulse-native-provider 1:1.4.6-1 pulseaudio-alsa 1:1.2.12-4 I tried sudo alsactl store What packages should I have and also is there something I need to configure? Any fixes etc that I may have missed? -- Hindi madali ang maging ako

I would drop the pulse packages and get wireplumber, pipewire, pipewire-pulse and pipewire-alsa if there's some specific application not behaving you can try https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/WirePlumber#Adjust_volume_for_applications_... wiki page has more info about the configs, default can be found in /usr/share/wireplumber/

I removed all of the pulse packages except the ones that would remove ffmpeg After reboot the volume at login is at 100% and when playing a video also is at 100%. I then need to reset the pavucontrol-qt to an acceptable level. I can not save the volume level and upon reboot the pavucontrol-qt is at 100% again. I would like it to save the level on shutdoen anbd then restored upon startup/login -- Hindi madali ang maging ako

you can create file in ~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/ called 99-default-volume.conf and it has following contents wireplumber.settings = { device.routes.default-sink-volume = 0.5 } or you can use wpctl $ wpctl settings --save device.routes.default-sink-volume 0.5
