Problem description: Once a presentation begins (F5), audio plays at 100% volume. Readjusting the output volume from Gnome-Control-Center is not persistent. The scenario repeats with every restart of a presentation Steps to reproduce: 1. Import am movie file into a blank Impress Slide (i used .ogg) 2. Play the Presentation 3. Volume should be blasting at 100% Current behavior: See above Expected behavior: System volume remains unchanged Operating System: Fedora Version: 4.1.0.0.beta2
Hello onyeibo, *, I cannot confirm you issue with LO Version: 4.1.0.1 Build ID: 1b3956717a60d6ac35b133d7b0a0f5eb55e9155 and KDE 4.8.4 under Debian Testing AMD64. The loudness stays, as it was before ... ;) Just out of interst: Which sound system are you using? And have you started LO from command line to see, if there are any problems reported? And have you tested it with a newer version of LO than 4.1.0.0.beta2? Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas.
Hello Oneyeibo, *, as I am still waiting for answers, I removed the keyword "Needinof" and set the status to "NEEDINFO" ... ;) Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas.
this issue was fairly consistent with the version I filed against. Fedora-19 release is just 2-days away and I'm on beta. Mobile Broadband is expensive here so I will delay the update until after the release. I'm going to try again after a fresh install. I trust F19 will ship with the latest stable version of LibO 4.1x. Sound system? This is PulseAudio I suppose or whatever Fedora runs by default. Its a Dell Vostro 1540 spotting an "Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio" (according to lspci). Running 'soffice' from commandline shows nothing during playback. This is Gnome3

Okay, I obeyed the urge and ran an update. I'm now using LibreOffice 4.1.0.1-3.fc19 Nothing has changed. I just noticed that the system sound volume shoots to 100% once I load this file (with audio). When I adjust it back, it behaves ... but not until i hit F5. In other words, playing the presentation sends it back to 100%. This is crazy.
Hi Onyeibo, On Windows, I have actually two ways to control sound with LO Presentation. One way is the the known Media Playback available in View > Toolbars. A new way is available in Tools > Media Player, perhaps it is this one which take sound control. Can you verify it? The two players can be displayed together on my computer. Regards, Jacques
Jacques, it is like that here. That does not address the problem. I am running LibreOffice on Linux (fedora-19) Let me describe the situation differently: (1) I set System Volume to 50% (top-right corner in Gnome3) (2) I browse to the .odp file using nautilus and double-click to open (3) After LibreOffice loads the .odp file I check system volume again (4) Mine shoots to 100% (full blast). This is weird in a studio setting as this can damage eardrums, stress speakers and shock listeners. I am constantly on edge with this phenomenon while doing a presentation because each time a sound clip plays its so loud that I have to manually readjust PC volume.
I do not reproduce with Version: 4.1.1.0.0+ (Build ID: 6089121ebd075bb6422d33d6bff69dff2e88efb) under Ubuntu 12.04 x86-64 with Gnome-shell. Best regards. JBF
Hello Onyeibo, *, sorry for the long absence, but too busy in RL ... :( (In reply to comment #7) > Jacques, it is like that here.

Which kind of *.odp are you loading here? One with sound or one without? > (4) Mine shoots to 100% (full blast).

I still cannot reproduce it, sorry ... :( But if I start from commandline, I get loads of messages like <quote> Cannot connect to server socket err = Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started Cannot connect to server socket err = Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started </quote> ... As I am using alsa here (AFAIK) and not this jack server, it is not disturbing at all, but maybe you have installed this jack server and your mentioned pulse server. Maybe that leads to an increase in loudness ... HTH Thomas.
Hello onyeibo, do you still have the same problem with current stable release (LO 4.1.0.4) ? Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 84121 [details] the test file (ODP). System volume shoots to 100% once this file is opened
(In reply to comment #10) > Hello onyeibo, > do you still have the same problem with current stable release (LO 4.1.0.4) ? > > Best regards. JBF Yes, it's still happening on LO 4.1.0.4
Link to the test file: http://bugs.onyeibo.fastmail.fm/father%27s-day-slides-bugged.odp I do not reproduce the problem with master and LibreOffice 4.1.4.0.0+, the sound volume remains as it was before I started the slideshow. Set status back to unconfirmed. Best regards. JBF
presently at 4.1.3.x-x, I'm running Fedora-20. The situation is still the same. Hopefully 4.1.4 will hit the repo soon. Expect an update afterwards

Expect an update afterwards @Onyeibo: Version 4.1.4 is out since 2013-12-18. Please could you try it ? I think that the problem is on the Fedora side, not on LibreOffice one. If you can, I suggest you to try the Linux generic version built by TDF which can be found at http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ Best regards. JBF
