Bug ID: 364911 Summary: Distortion and volume issues when using phonon-vlc backend Product: Phonon Version: 4.9.0 Platform: Compiled Sources OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: sit...@kde.org Reporter: did...@users.sourceforge.net CC: myr...@kde.org, romain.per...@gmail.com Gentoo user, I am using kde-frameworks-5.23.0, plasma-5.6.5, phonon-4.9.0 and phonon-vlc-0.9.0. On a quite default setup, if I do something like "unlock widgets" which will cause a pop up and a notification sound to occur the following happens: 1. sometimes the volume is noticeably louder than when I click the play button in the kcm notifications dialog. This also causes clipping/distortion 2. sometimes the sound is a very garbled loud noise, which doesn't resemble the original sound (in this case Oxygen-Sys-Special.ogg) at all 3. If I click around in the kcm notifications dialog, most sounds seem to have an audible pop at their beginning. if I switch to phonon-gstreamer-4.9.0 backend, the issue seems to go away.
