GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 728425
Each html5 video loaded in epiphany changes the sound volume to maximum
Last modified: 2014-10-09 16:33:03 UTC
When epiphany was used to watch html5 video on youtube, on each new video loaded the sound volume became too loud, almost 100%. The player html5 volume indicator don't change its scale. Clicking on it the volume returns to normal. I'm using epiphany 3.12 on gnome 3.12 - Arch Linux Gstreamer -1.2.3 webkitgtk-2.4.0 ffmpeg-2.2.1
I confirm this bug, since I almost went deaf while listening to YouTube music with my earphones. This should be marked as CRITICAL, since it can pose a major safety risk. Using on Fedora 20 64-bit (copr repository): epiphany-1:3.12.1-1.fc20.x86_64 webkitgtk-2.2.7-3.fc20.x86_64 gstreamer-0.10.36-6.fc20.x86_64 ffmpeg not installed
