same problem with mine. my setup is using berryboot on a raspberry pi 3b+. this happens after installing VLC from the q4os app installer. this is the time when pulseaudio is being installed. somehow pulseaudio conflicts with alsa/kmix. 1 problem is the volume control and another problem is the switching of audio output to 3.5 jack via raspi-config.
i can't see any permanent solution for the global volume. the only work around I found was to use pavucontrol and control the volume up and down from there. it would be great if there's a way to replace kmix with the pavucontrol in the system tray to control the global volume. like the official raspbian, the volume control there is a more stable.
for the pulseaudio conflict, i tried different solutions i found googling and the only solution that worked is by restarting the pulseaudio using the command "pulseaudio -k" twice or trice and then start it again "pulseaudio --start". and then evrythig works well like the switching of audio output (default hdmi and 3.5 jack). this also fixed the issue on connecting a bluetooth speaker. if i don't do this after boot, bluetooth connection will always fail. to automatically do this routine, i created a script to run after boot and restarts the pulseaudio in 12 seconds (at least enough time tpo let the raspberry pi to load everything).

I forgot to login before posting above comment. Anyway, I hope q4os team can fix this issue. other than this, everything looks great! q4os is my top choice as an alternative to raspbian.
in addition to found issue, is there a way in q4os to automatically detect and switch audio output when 3.5 jack is connected as well as a bluetooth a speaker? pardon me for asking this because I was a raspbian os user before and I was able to right click on the global volume control on the system try to switch audio output to any available audio output connected to raspberry pi.
cheers to q4os team! thanks!

Thanks for the detailed reporting. We guess the issues you reported are not directly connected to the OP issue. Since you reported more different issues in one thread, it would be very useful, if you would create new tickets for every single bug in particular. We will take a look on all of them and post a feedback.
From the descriprion above is not clear, what the problem 1 actually is:
"1 problem is the volume control ..."
Please specify more exactly.
You can also install pulseaudio control system tray applet this way:
$ sudo apt install pavucontrol pasystray
and reboot.

The issue should have been fixed by upstream Trinity devs for TDE R14.1.0 , see https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2902#c6
It will need testing as soon as R14.1.0 is applied in Q4OS.
@Drew C, @All
It seems this bug is resolved by upstream see https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2902#c6 . Please do testing with the new Q4OS-5 Aquarius and confirm or dismiss the bug.
Fixed by upstream, so closing.
