Did you solve this problem? I see the same on XBMC 13 after upgrading 12.04 -> 14.04.

You 100% don't see that issue on xbmc v13 - cause xbmc 12.2 did not have a pulseaudio sink ... v13 has a completely rewritten PASink.

Yeah, pulseaudio is in use for me, but I see similar behaviour. The volume seems reversely exponential. All variation is in the first 1 %, and the it flattens out more and more from 2-5% volume to max. The last 25% of the volume indicator is perhaps 5-10% volume variation according to pulseaudio.

It should now behave exactly as pavucontrol does.
The first press you do (after changed the volume by external with pavucontrol) xbmc will ignore and only update the volume bar - this is for syncing. Afterwards it should behave like you expect it.
Thanks much for testing in advance!

Would love to help, but don't really want to do anything to my media center that could make ppa upgrades more difficult. Also, I'm booting right into xbmc (old xbmclive install), and use ssh to connect to the box for maintenance etc.
Sooo: To be able to test, I need undo instructions as well. And some assurance that I can go back to a regular PPA install afterwards.

Before I forget: Thx much for supporting xbmc by helping to test.

Do you still need my help for testing? Or do you have sufficient testing already?

Nope - all fine from my side. I was travelling when I read your other reply. I already send a PullRequest so that this change will in any case reach helix and also will be backported to Gotham 13.3 - in the meantime, you can "pick" the patch on the Gotham branch to have this functionality in our stable build.
