OK, I'm reassured you're on the case of the underlying bug :)
With regard to the 65%, I do understand that there are outliers. But I
feel strongly that we should pick a reasonable level, and fix the
outliers. Turning the computer on and having "no sound" always feels
like a problem. The chances of setting some level like 65% causing
deafness are so remote that I think it's better for us to give the new
user a straightforward starting position.
