Re: [Espeak-general] Volume Shoots up to 100% on doing eSpeak_Configure

Yes, sorry, I had that version number wrong. The version you are running was
the one where my sound level problems stopped occuring. 

One thing you could check. 

You mentioned it didn't happen with other applications. Are you sure the other
applications are also using pulseaudio? It could be that the pulseaudio volume
is set high while the alsa volume is set lower. If you play a sound source
using somehting like alsaplayer and the volume is OK, make sure you also try
playing it with the option to send the sound via pulseaudio. Also check your
volume with pulseaudio pavucontrol before using espeak and see what it is set
to before and after using your program. As already pointed out, espeak doesn't
have any calls that affect the overall volume setting on your system, so the
cause must be somewhwere else. As you have at least two different sound
layers, alsa and pulseaudio, the issue could be a difference in volume
settings at those different levels. 

Increasing the logging level of pulseaudio can also be really useful in
tracking down problems. On most systems, logging is done via syslog. Even if
this provides no direct explination, these log records are very useful in
seeing what is going on.
