So far all the system sounds in their job have played at full volume, like clock app's alarm, notification sound for battery loading and others. I can't control the volume at all. The volume control bar shows and interacts but it has no effect on sound volume. I'm not sure about ring tone volume as I haven't had too much calls after the update yet. In sound settings the volume can be controlled just fine but in action it's 100% or more as the sound a bit distorted due the great volume. I've tried rebooting but it has no effect. I have tried disabling any volume related patches but has no effect. Any help?

@Ingvix - If it were me having this problem, I think I would likely remove and install the audio package (pulseaudio) Pulseaudio acts as the general sound server for the device.

As you have already stated that you are using patches, which are audio related, perhaps leave them unapplied and then in terminal you could try pkcon remove pulseaudio and when that's done, pkcon install pulseaudio. You may need to reboot the device for changes (if any) to take effect.

That clearly reduced the volume, probably to the default level, as they're not distorted anymore but I still can't control the volume on my own. Wonder what might cause that.

hmmm, okay, that's a step forward, at least your phone is not 'shouting' at you for now.

There are other components of pulseaudio, namely 'alsa',....... so, you might try; pkcon remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and then of course, pkcon install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio (reboot possibly req'd).

By the way, I check this stuff out by searching the main repo in terminal. One way to get started is to type the following into terminal; pkcon search name blah (where blah is the item you're looking for), so, in your case, I typed; pkcon search name audio ('audio' bringing up everything installed or available in repo to do with audio).....hope this helps a little.

Well I removed bunch of stuff and installed them again and I started getting this with pulseaudio command and no more volume bars are visible and no audio from the system. [nemo@Jolla ~]$ pulseaudio E: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Failed to find a working profile. E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-card" (argument: "device_id="0" name="platform-soc-audio.0" card_name="alsa_card.platform-soc-audio.0" namereg_fail=false tsched=yes fixed_latency_range=no ignore_dB=no deferred_volume=yes use_ucm=yes card_properties="module-udev-detect.discovered=1""): initialization failed.
