I was playing a game called Beyond a Steel Sky (unreal engine). I tried to adjust the game volume in the game's menu to yield to another process for audio output. This caused the audio to become extremely distorted, driving my tweeters to dangerous levels. I found that I could partially correct for this by using pavucontrol to reduce the output volume from each application to about 15% (-45 db)...

There was no setting or reset command in either alsa or pulseaudio to correct this. I had to cold-boot the machine to return sound output to normal.

The motherboard is a TRX40-based threadripper board by MSI, using some kind of audio chip off of the USB bus.
