I've spent way too many hours trying to figure this out through forum posts.

As far as I could gather there was a configuration file that could be edited but now that configuration file is nowhere to be seen so I need to create that file but I'm not sure what to pun in that file.

The other problem is that all forum posts that talk about editing a configuration file is for something called Pulse and some forum posts mention that Mint doesn't use that anymore, so back to 0.

What do you mean when you say "the audio fade in"?

[-] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

After a few seconds of no sound playing when it starts again it does a fade in starting quiet and getting louder in a span of one second or second and a half.

Aside of being annoying, that part is less important, it has the problem of muting all notification sounds that are too short.

I've read that is something about power savings.

What are you playing sound through?

I've had the same issue. Doesn't matter what you play the audio from (system notification, video in Firefox, ...) I also have that problem in windows so I'm suspecting a bios setting but I can't find anything and any online search returns only results about "audio not working at all"

What do you mean? Like the speakers? I have the line out connected to an amplifier. But that hasn't changed in years. This fade in problem started now after a fresh install.
