Bug Description

Every time I log in on Ubuntu, it seems the volume is set back to 100% automatically. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but it seems that since upgrading to 11.10, any setting above the "Unamplified" mark on the slider, results in distortion. In 11.04 this was not a problem.

Hi,

This bug affects me too on Ubuntu 12.04.2. I can't find the reason and I just added this line to /etc/rc.local to make it mute when boot to the LightDM:

amixer set Master mute
