Please make sure this is not applied on digital outputs (i.e. SPDIF and 
HDMI/DisplayPort). There, 100% is the correct default, especially 
because volume is expected to be the same by default in the cases of 
passthrough and normal playback.

P.S. I have not read enough context, sorry if this code path is already 
only ever executed for analog outputs.
