XBMC PRE-11.0 Git:9010cd5
Fedora 14
x86_64
build.sh
I switched form Ubuntu 10.04 to Fedora 14 a few days ago, and when I installed XBMC, I noticed that every time it opens a new music or video file it raises the system volume to max. I've never seen anything like it. I didn't have this problem in Ubuntu. Is there a package or something that I'm missing? For the install I followed the compilation instructions for redhat/fedora on this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated, preferably before I blow out my speakers, please.

I have the same problem with the same OS. Is this normal? XBMC turns up system volume to 100% every time I play a video? System sound at 100% is much too loud with my speakers. After I am done with xbmc and I play something outside of XBMC, volume is way too high. Is there a way to prevent system volume to go to 100%?

Sorry to post in a relitively old thread, but I'm also getting the same issue.
I haven't checked every mixer track (in the "Alsa mixer" app), but XBMC at least sets "Master", "PCM", "Surround", and "Center" to max whenever it starts a video.
If there's any other information that could help solve this issue I'd be happy to provide it.
XBMC: 10.1-1.pm.3.4
OS: OpenSUSE 11.4
Arch: x86_64
Install method: Zypper

XBMC: 10.1-1.pvr.2mdv2010.2
OS: Mandriva 2010.2
arch: x86_32
install: rpm + auto updates.
Same problem as previous user mention. As soon as media player exits, volume jumps to 100%, both pulseaudio (supposedly used by XBMC) and underlying ALSA channels also jump to 100% volume.
This behaviour started about a week ago. No obvious reason - just standard usual small changes with settings. Suddenly does this on all three systems I have installed XMBC on.
Any Ideas??
