Created attachment 97632 [details] log from case #1 I have 2 digital devices, GK104 HDMI and an M5A99FX this happens to both, therefor the problem would be PA, logically. Alsa modules are compiled into kernel, i.e. they are not modules. I have flat volumes disabled. Case #1: ALC892 Digital HDA ATI SB In log.txt you'll find pluginloader.exe audio stream #1 (wine pipelight) is playing sound at 100%. I start a new stream from TESV.exe, SkyrimLauncher.exe (wine) unhooks AND THE SOUND GOES CRAZILLY LOUD. decreasing volume on pluginloader.exe audio stream #1 does not work, audio is same level of loudness until it hits 0%, putting the level back to 1% causes the audio to come on CRAZY LOUD level again. Case #2: HDA NVidia GK104 HDMI No log, same situation, stream from vlc using pulseaudio, in kde I set gk104 HDMI as preferred over the mobo audio. While vlc is streaming I launch chrome and start a native pepperflash youtube video. Same problem as above.

I intstalled veromix where I can assign streams to playback devices, this fixes the problem, I assign my long running streams to the non default device then when new streams get assigned to the default device and this does not happen.
