I don’t have a solution, but I have seen the same issue on my mac book pro.
If i adjust the system volume while in Avid, it turns everything up as you would assume. but when I leave avid, to go to Lynda.com, or my email, my background music gets turned way up (or down)
What I do:
After spending a moment shaking my head and asking “why avid, why?”
I open my AUDIO SETTINGS in Avid and adjust my volume accordingly, then I leave avid for a moment and RE-ADJUST my system volume to match.

note: this is NOT a solution or even what I would call a work-around. It’s simply how I deal with it.
But learning about the audio settings at least helped me keep my volume level (until the next time I adjust it in 5 minutes)

I’m new to Avid, so this is one of many things that shows it’s ugly head while I’m just trying to edit a simple interview with B-Roll.
So many things come up I could start my own forum, but it wouldn’t be constructive… ha!
