[arch-general] Low volume for kopete notifications

[Shridhar Daithankar]

Hello All,

I got a new computer and installed arch on it. I have restored my home 
directory from other machine, which has lived thr. kde3 -> kde4 transition and 
isn't exactly prestine.

This is core2duo machine and the soundcard is 82801G HDA, as reported by 
lspci. I don't have pulseaudio installed. Jack is installed but not running. 
Phonon backend is gstreamer.

Everything is working fine but there is a strange behaviour. Volume of kopete 
notification is very low.  I am surprised that it even has a different volume 
than normal. Furthermore kopete has no way to set this volume, even though I 
can set the tone/music for it.

Sound  test in KDE settings runs fine in notifications and music category(how 
to set them for applications and how do they matter anyways?). 

Also moc(a console mp3 player) is working fine.( I had to resort to moc since 
juk doesn't output any sound at all. That is another issue but I don't mind 
moc)

Creating a new user isn't an option since I have tons of settings/data 
customized and can't leave it all behind.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
