Low Volume After Using Spotify #3079
Comments
When this problem occurs -- can you see whether Deadbeef's own volume regulator changes in appearance? Also, when the problem occurs -- did you try to adjust the volume in Deadbeef? TBH what you described sounds like some sort of obscure Pipewire bug, that Deadbeef has nothing to do with. |
Did you enable "Use PipeWire volume control" in the PipeWire plugin preferences? Volume is handled differently depending on this option. If Use PipeWire volume control is enabled then volume is handled as follows: If Use PipeWire volume control is disabled then volume is handled as follows: This should explain why you notice volume is reset when you open the preferences dialog. This works as intended since the plugin is reloaded when this dialog is opened. As for why the volume of Deadbeef is lowered in relation to using Spotify at the same time I have no idea. I cannot reproduce this myself. Do you run any audio processing software like EasyEffects? Can you open PulseAudio Volume control (or another mixer) and check if the slider here changes? I also use Fedora 39 with Gnome and a pretty standard Pipewire setup with no customizations. |
Usually I have my volume set to -12 to -10 DB.
When the issue is happening the volume slider in Deadbeef remains where I set it.
If I change the volume while it's doing it the volume does not change. I turned it up to 0 DB and went into preferences, temporary deafness and a ringing in my ears occurred.
I did not have this enabled as the last time I played with it, it wanted to turn the system/master volume up and down. As in the Deadbeef and system volume where linked together, which didn't work for me. Now when I enable this option it does not seem to do that any more. I'm still playing around but after a few reboots and this option enabled the volume is what it is supposed to be.
I have it installed but leave the effects disabled until I need it, and the program needs to be open to do this which it is not.
Sliders remain the same, I change the volume in Deadbeef from -12 to -10 pavucontrol still says -12. |
Steps to reproduce the problem
What's going on? Describe the problem in as much detail as possible.
That's what I've been trying to figure out since version 1.9.6 came out and this issue started. It could be the Pipewire plugin as I've not been able to replicate this while on ALSA. After a while the problem cannot be replicated and I have to reboot in order for it to start doing it again. In my preferences I have the Pipewire output plugin, override sample rate and bit depth disabled, and Replay Gain (apply gain and prevent clipping according to peak).
Using the latest Master from Github also does not solve it.
Information about the software:
Deadbeef version: 1.9.6
OS: Fedora 39 (Gnome)
