Public bug reported: Problem is reproducible since the pulseaudio update to version 6.0.
If an error message or system message appears with a warning sound, the sound volume goes up to 100%. Muting system sounds does not help. Example: Try to open a file with xdg-open that does not exist. A error message with a loud sound will appear. The sound volume will be at 100% ( It does not matter if it was muted before).
