From what you described, 'something' was reverting audio to a preset volume
level. If it wasn't kmix's desktop setting, I assumed it would be application
specific.

Random linky says mpv is better:

From what I recall mplayer doesn’t support VAAPI for hardware acceleration,
but I moved from mplayer to mpv quite a few years now and have not kept up
with mplayer's development. As a matter of fact I had to check mplayer was
still in portage! :-)
Anyway, better informed chattering users express their views here:
