This is how PA volume controls work, and appears to be By Design. They
have a logorythmic scale with about 100 dB range. A mouse hover over
the closed volume control may show the attenuation. I think they are
all intended to be left at or near maximum, and you are expected to
control the actual volume with some other volume knob, say on your
external amplifier. This is problematic for those who aren't using an
external amplifier, but that isn't PA's target audience.

strange design choice for a server aimed to be flexible...
I didn't face such a problem on F10.
I just need to get sound on earphones so disabling PA would probably be an acceptable solution.
Do you know how to do that ? I already unchecked PA entry in gnome startup applications and didn't find any service related to PA
