Am using laptops. never have problems on the speakers going past 100 (or 80% as you describe). of course is very rare i have to go to the max. Usually just need to go a little more or to the middle, but is getting frustrating having to open the big settings panel and with 12.04 is now at the bot

I mostly agree with Evan here. Since I do a lot of testing I use different speakers with different computers depending on what test I'm performing and if the OS resumed sound at 100%+++ after switching to my most amplified speakers they'd likely be nothing but rubbish afterwards. While it's inc

Alright, I've got another corner case: You've got some awesome music on your touch device (smartphone or tablet) and you've got an always-on media centre or server with speakers attached.

I usually need to push the volume past 100% on a daily basis. Is not clear to me why we can't do it from the indicator and need to open the settings. This could be more discoverable. I also see my parents wanting to push volume up. This was on one of the ubuntu surveys (i think for the volume in

I see what you mean, that text is not readable in dash! We may need to add a dark background to cover only the icons if nothing else... That would probably fix the problem. The icon text is also easier to read when a blur is turned on from CCSM, but Dash is quite a bit slower sometimes when a bl
