Hi, Ubuntu's Unity now allow having the volume slider on the desktop go all the way up to above 100% without having to go into the sound settings. It would really like to see an option like that in Gnome-Shell as well. Since 100% is only 2/3 up what is possibly to set I often have to go into sound setting to get it loud enough my laptops and a couple of desktop systems as well.
This is a UI failure. It doesn't make sense to set sound over 100%. It sounds like GNOME Shell is wrong to cap the sound level lower than it can actually go, but Settings is also wrong for presenting the max sound level as less than 100%. I neither know nor care about whatever technical reason exists for 100% not being the end of that slider in sound settings. It just doesn't make sense. Michael
