Lately, after rebooting the volume is 100%. This was not the case before.
Anyone?
Macbook pro M1
Have you try install pipewire and wireplumber?
Try also add kernel parameters like snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub file.
Update grub: sudo dnf install pipewire wireplumber
And reboot.
You also can test with headphones.

Afaik pipewire and wireplumber are installed by default on FAR installs.
Out of curiosity because I’m not too sure about the kernel parameter, does that only apply to Intel chips as the name suggests? If so, it probably also doesn’t help because we’re looking at M series Macs here.
The issue is more likely something with the pipewire config/setup that’s messing up volume levels for some users (mine works reliably 90% of the time but I do see things randomly changing as well). What usually helps is simply opening the volume config in KDE and volume should go back to normal. Alternatively, you can try playing some audio which might also fix it.
I think the original issue was brought up here although it was supposedly fixed with a config adjustment from what I remember.
If you experience this after every reboot, it might be a good idea to clear the wireplumber cache by deleting ~/.local/state/wireplumber/ and then restarting via systemctl restart --user wireplumber
The 100% volume thing happens to me on every boot, ever since the upgrade to Fedora 42 (so like, since many months ago).
Deleting ~/.local/state/wireplumber only fixes it temporarily. The problem always comes back. I have not found any solution or reliable workaround so far…
I have the same issue. It only appears on hyprland for me, not when I log into plasma. Deleting ~/.local/state/wireplumber and then restarting wireplumber fixes the issue until I reboot. What’s the best way to diagnose that, since it seems to work in one desktop environment.
I just added
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 count=1 2>/dev/null | paplay --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2 --raw to my shell startup script
this works as a workaround for the 100% volume problem for me
