    Question about Pulseaudio Volume control

    Hi,
    I am using a USB IR remote control. It is detected as a keyboard. It works out of the box.
    The only problem is when I press the volume + key on the remote the volume increases up to 100% and when using headphones that sounds too low depending on the recording level of the source track. What I want is to enable the volume amplification beyond that 100% mark which I can do using pavucontrol.

    Can't you set the volume per the device to beyond 100% in the control center's(system settings) sound program( called Sound, I think)

    Yes, but as soon as I press the vol keys on my remote or try to adjust the volume using the tray utility both the "Playback" and "Output devices" levels revert back to 100%. Just try it on your installation the same thing will happen.

    Hard to say.
    I have unity and gnome-flashback installed on my trusty machine.
    And it has a check box to allow setting the sound to beyond 100%. When I keep the sound program open and then toggle the panel indicator, the indicator's volume bar only goes to 100%, but the sound programs volume bar goes up to beyond 100%.
    Both volume bars are in sync with each other, ftr.

    Unlike gnome-shell where the two volume bars are not in sync, and it has no option to toggle the volume beyond 100%.

    But like I say, hard to say since I'm not 100% which DE you have running.
    (I'm guessing mate, probably, in which case I haven't a clue as to how they(the mate devs) have designed their sound interface.)
