KDE 4.13 Is Being Released Today With New Features

[mendieta]

Wait. I actually have been running KDE 4.13 for a few days, I upgraded my desktop to Kubuntu trusty last weekend. I'll try baloo (I have had nepomuk/akonadi disabled forever)

?Yes! ?That did it!

At last now I can put headphones without fear of became deaf.


Thank you.

There's also another answer

vim /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

and uncomment the line

;flat-volumes=yes

and make it

flat-volumes=no

which will make volumes be properly relative as opposed to absolute

You guys (dispat0r and DebianLinuxero) should report the bug (and the fix), so others can benefit from it.

Hello,
I think I hit that problem too some time ago try:
System Settings -> Application and System Notifications -> Manage Notifications -> Player Settings
There is a volume slider try lowering that.

?Yes! ?That did it!

Thank you.

Just right now, as you suggested. But still the same.

Also, I notice that it don't happen only when I delete files.
It happen when KDE play a sound for a desktop event.

But not when I run non-KDE applications (like games).

Maybe permissions or an issue with group membership?

Sound like a problem with the audio backend, i think it happens when kde emits a sound, and it does when you delete a file.
Try to disable system sounds and see if the problem persists; if this is the case, then change the audio backend (i think you can choose between mplayer,gstreamer,xine,vlc) or inspect the current one.
...Just guessing!

StorageServiceManager is a KDE native client that support Dropbox, google drive.

HOw do I use?
bye bye dropbox client!!

I think that at least for now it's integrated only with KMail.
See http://kde.org/announcements/4.13/applications.php the "Cloud Storage Support" part.

Total shot in the dark, but maybe. Make sure you have downloaded, installed, and selected the VLC Backend for Phonon. Most distros ship Gstreamer has the default backend, but the official recommended has recently switched to VLC because of better quality. It may have no effect, or it may fix it, no idea.

I just check it.

VLC plug-in for Phonon is installed and VLC is the default (and unique) sound engine.

Nice try.


Thanks anyway pals.
