Description Juergen Weigert 2010-05-15 09:33:09 UTC 
Lenovo X60s has three buttons at the top right hand corner of the keyboard: Mute, Volume-down, volume-up.
KDE KMix has a PCM master slide.

I set the master slider ca 3mm below maximum position.
Pressing Volume-down volume-up shows an onscreen popup with ca 90% then.

Volume-down goes in 3% steps, at 48% the audio is completely slient.
Volume-up (51%) makes it faintly audible.
Now repeatedly hit Volume down to 0%, then back to 3%, 6%, 9% and audio is already faintly audible. repeating Volume up to 100%, it becomes gradually louder (loud around 45% 48% 51%, and very loud at 100%). then Volume-down, back to 51% makes it very faint again, at 48% it is silent.

KMix master slider has a different effect. Even if pulled all the way down, music is still audible. 
Hitting Volume-up, Volume-down once, brings up the on-screen popup, showing 3%, 0%, and music is still audible.

Remembering a setting like "e.g. 60%" is thus quite unreliable.
