Subject: hal: Install-time script cranks mixer up while soundcard is in use Package: hal Version: 0.4.7-2 Severity: critical
*** Please type your report below this line *** While installing hal, the initscript is run and hald is started. This cuased my machine to suddenly crank all the mixer settings almost all the way to the top.
Since I was actually listening to music at the time, and my mixer requires fairly low levels for safe operation, it increased the volume levels *WELL PAST* what is safe.
This bug is easily capable of causing PERMANENT HEARING LOSS, not to mention permanent hardware damage.
My ears are *still* ringing five minutes later.
