sudo nano /etc/pulse/daemon.conf

Your will be asked for your user password, type it and press ENTER.

And edit this line, from:

; flat-volumes = yes

to:

flat-volumes = no

Press Ctrl+X to exit app, you will be asked to save, press y here and then press ENTER to save, without modifying the path. Editor will be closed after this.

Then reboot your laptop to apply the changes.
