Hi out there first post for me in this forum. I have a quick suggestion regarding flat volumes in Debian. I come from using Ubuntu Mate for a few years where this wasn't a problem. Once I loaded Sparky XFCE I noticed weird volume issues. Specifically when opening Kodi or VLC. The OS volume goes to max. Not a huge deal but annoying. Some quick research shows that editing the /etc/pulse/daemon.conf file to the following:
flat-volumes = no
deferred-volume-safety-margin-usec=1
Any chance to make this fix standard in Sparky like it is in Ubuntu??
Thank you for sharing; it seems that these lines have been included in that /etc/pulse/daemon conf file. I simply had to remove the semicolon (or ";") so that instead of remaining a comment, we have our fix
