            Bug ID: 332180
           Summary: No option to independently control the relative volume
                    of system notifications
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.7
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rm at anracon.de

I use Opensuse 13.1 with KDE 4.12.  There is no possibility to control the
volume of system notifications independently of other sound sources in the
system. At least not if one refrains from using pulseaudio (PA). And the sound
of the system notifications is disturbingly high !

No option is offered in the dialogs of System Notification Configuration. Under
"Player settings" I only have an option of "No audio output". Neither is there
a special slider in kmix - neither on the main panel with the standard volume
controls for the hardware nor on the panel for sound streaming sources as
amarok.   

So on cannot control the relative volume of system notifications with respect
to other sound sources. 

I know that PA and pavucontrol would give me a slider and I have tested that.
However, I do not want to use PA for a number of reasons (bugs, problems with
many sound cards, coupling of volume controls , ... ).  

And I think KDE (or Opensuse ???) should not force people to use PA to get
control over the volume of system notification sounds. This should be possible
independently of PA !  


Reproducible: Always
