--- Comment #9 from Prajna Sariputra <putr...@gmail.com> ---
I think I found the source of the problem on my Arch install, it appears to be
because I had KMix installed but with autostart disabled in its settings.
Deleting `~/.config/kmixrc` fixes the issue at the cost of ending up with two
volume icons on the panel, and I also found that forcing KMix to never
autostart by copying `/etc/xdg/autostart/kmix_autostart.desktop` and
`/etc/xdg/autostart/restore_kmix_volumes.desktop` to `~/.config/autostart` and
adding `Hidden=true` to both of them plus disabling KMix Daemon in the
Background Services KCM also makes the issue go away.

In my case I had KMix installed due to just installing the
`kde-applications-meta` package, which included KMix among a myriad of other
things (I did start with just the `plasma-meta` package first but it turns out
that doesn't include basic things like Dolphin or Spectacle due to those being
in KDE Gear rather than being part of Plasma so I decided to just drag in the
whole kitchen sink and be done with it).

So, I guess the real bug here is that KMix somehow interferes with Plasma
despite not even actively running, or perhaps the fact that KMix even exists at
all since Plasma has its own volume control now. It doesn't even look like KMix
is meant to be used outside of Plasma since its autostart files have
`OnlyShowIn=KDE` in them too.
