So this thread is going to turn into a 'Blame Lennart' thread in 3, 2, 1 ... (Cue "And now he's destroying the Unix Way™ with systemd" and '"Pulseaudio ruined every installation I've ever made, it's the first thing to remove" whining) Gnome isn't favored around here, I get that. But random (yes, random to me. I consider that bug irrelevant) 'the project sucks' headlines? That's really low. Flagged. Edit: Slighty more constructive: pactl set-sink-volume 0 +5% pactl set-sink-volume 0 -- -5% There. Bind that to whatever keys/situations/occasions you'd like, replace the 5 with any other arbitrary number that feels better. Done. "Hazard" avoided.

Thanks for the pactl tip. I was not aware of it. I am not saying the problem is un-surmountable. And it is not just me I am concerned about. Every person that I introduce to linux (via Ubuntu) is going to face this problem. A simple setting could save many hours and ears. I used "sucks" for the whole project because of many such dumbed-down decisions that have been made in GNOME3. This one was just the last straw for me. I could have probably avoided the word though.
