The latest pulseaudio update fixed this for me on 16.04. After the update, just to see if something changed, I reverted the changes made by my workaround in comment #20, rebooted, tested it for a day and I didn't encounter this bug ever since.
My current pulseaudio version is 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3 from xenial-updates My sound card: -(aplay -L): PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC898 Analog [ALC898 Analog] -(lspci): Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) Kernel version: 4.4.0-83-generic In case someone wants to double check this and did previously apply my workaround in comment #20, just run hdajackretask, click "Remove boot override", install the latest pulseaudio update and reboot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585084 Title: Volume notification keeps popping up constantly (the notify-OSD bubble on top-right corner) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1585084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
