Karmic: Volume if left at 150% rolls back at startup to 100% and sometimes mutes by itself

[zsolt.ruszinyák]

Binary package hint: gnome-media

I'm not sure if it's a bug, but it needs a change. I'm very happy for the volume increase in Karmic, but this is a bit annoying. I had to add Sound preferences to the startup applications list and I change it back to 150% at each startup. I wonder if there's a way how to disable automatic volume rollback on startup for example in gconf-editor. Also it automutes sometimes. I hear about many people facing this problem.

Thanks for any ideas.

Confirmed. This is very annoying!

Oh yeah, but do u know a way to hack it? I'm sure it's only a matter of editing some system configuration file. But I couldn't google up anything and have given up on this yet.
