Comment 6 Ben McMonagle 2017-03-14 09:37:18 CET 
after update to audacity-2.1.2-4.mga6.i586

adjusting playback level to less than 99% causes the "uv meter"to display no output, 
but audio is from speaker

This looks like an upstream bug. Maybe you can ask them? It could also be interesting if you try to adjust playback level directly in the desktop mixer.
