Subject: alsa-util: System volume reduces randomly, usually by exiting VLC

Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2017 22:17:58 -0400

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: normal
File: alsa-util

My master volume tends to go down sometimes, and I've noticed it tends to happen with things in VLC - though exiting seems to produce this more often.

Please update to latest (1.1.3) first. Will be in stable soon.

If there is no random generator involved it seems to be a matter of
using vlc ;-) Scrolling the mouse wheel at the bottom of vlc's window
changes the volume...
