I recently installed Fedora 36. I have a script that plays certain sound files. The script was used under Ubuntu 20.04 before, showing the expected behaviour.
Inside the script, I use the following command:
paplay --volume=65536 -d alsa_output.pci-0000_33_00.6.HiFi__hw_Generic_1__sink ~/soundfiles/notification.wav
On Ubuntu, this led to the notification being played on maximum volume due to the --volume=65536 setting, but since I switched to Fedora, this setting is no longer having any effect. No matter what value I give (even lower ones), the notification sound will always play with the current default system volume.
I tried with canberra-gtk-play, but that shows the same behaviour: no matter if I try canberra-gtk-play -f ~/soundfiles/notification.wav --volume=5 or canberra-gtk-play -f ~/soundfiles/notification.wav --volume=10, the sound will always play on the default system volume level.
Anybody got any idea why that might be?
