I have seen this issue being discussed but cannot understand where to start from.
I have volume fluctuating on its own when on "Speakers Built-in Audio". It is very annoying, especially when I am at work because volume changes both up becoming noisy and down becoming inaudible.
It happens especially with the Spotify client. It seems to me that it happens also with Firefox but perhaps with a lower excursion.
Any hints on where to start from?
Thank you!
