I'm sure PCM being set to max by default isn't the cause of this. Using the directions in a workaround for another bug I set PulseAudio to only control the Master pipeline and then lowered PCM in alsamixer... this lower the volume of the "bugged" sound but as soon as you move the volume slider sound is too quiet because PCM needs to be maxed for good sound levels, at least on my system it does. Either way the bug still happened.
Besides that this bug exist in no other distro other than Ubuntu and Ubuntu based ones, if it was something PulseAudio does by default or design it would effect all of the other distros. I can't find even one other one that is effected. -- Volume at login set to Maximum https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/598308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
