Hi. If you are using modules for your sound, you can modify the conf.modules file to run a program after a module is loaded. The following is the pertinent line from my conf.modules file:
post-install sb /bin/volume 10 This line runs the volume program with a parameter of '10' (a low volume) after the sb module is loaded. This seems like the easiest way to handle the boot-up loud sound problem (and I'm sure not the only way). More details can be found in the modprobe manpage. --- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED]
