<p>Eugen,</p>
<p>Thank you very much, but this did not solve the problem.<br>
</p>
<p>When I execute 23.04.0, I get a message, "Unable to create KIO
worker. Can not find a KIO worker for protocol 'tags'."</p>
<p>I clicked OK and it continued into the editor. There, I brought
in an audio file, mp3, and played it. It was inaudible until I
cranked up the OS volume to full, and even then it was rather
soft. Unlike before, I was unable to find any Preview volume
control, which disappeared from the Playback menu in settings. Why
no playback volume control?</p>

<blockquote type="cite">I'm
experienced with kdenlive, using it off and on for various
projects over the past decade, always on Linux/Debian. Last time
I used it was May 2022. I had not upgraded my Linux for several
years until July 2022. <br>
<br>
Today is my first use of kdenlive after the Linux upgrade, which
I see (per the About box) was upgraded to 20.12.3. I also
checked my kdenlive from the Linux command line, and I got a
message that I have the newest version, 20.12.3-1. However, the
kdenlive website lists later versions, up to 23.04.0
(2023-04-20)... dunno why my system says I have the newest. I
tried to re-install but it refused saying I have the newest. <br>
<br>
In any event, I recorded a video today with a camera file (MTS)
that has a low quality audio track. On a separate audio device,
I recorded an audio file (WAV) from a good lapel microphone.
Both files play normally with VLC. <br>
<br>
When I bring these files into kdenlive, and drag them into
track(s) and then play, the video displays properly in the
monitor. However, the audio is BARELY AUDIBLE in both files,
even when I maximize my OS volume. If I go to
Settings/Configure-Kdenlive/Playback and set the Preview volume
to its max (200%), I can hear a little better and without
distortion. (If I display the Audio Mixer, and maximize the
channel and master, it distorts horribly, so I'm not doing
that.) <br>
<br>
When I render a little zone and play it (forgetting to turn down
my OS volume), it blares loudly and without distortion. So, the
rendered result is okay. <br>
<br>
It appears that something is severely attenuating the
preview/monitor volume. Please advise. Thank you. <br>
