[SLE] v10.1 keeps resetting sound volume between boots
From the kmix handbook. You need to click on "Restore Volume on Login".
Restore volumes on login Let KDE restore the volumes when you Login: This restores your personal volume levels, stored when you last logged out. If your Operating System saves the volume levels, you might not need this option (but on a computer with multiple users it is still needed). A new install of 10.1 wants to reset the sound volume to the midrange (which I cannot hear). I reset it to maximum in Yast so that I can hear it but when I boot, the volume is at or near the midrange. On sound the only thing that is constant is the I cannot hear it. v9.2 did not do this.

This doesn't always work: on my laptop i ONCE muted the volume and logged out with audio muted. Now KDE *always* starts with volume muted and the audio level set to approx 50% (whatever it was when i muted it that time), no matter how many times i unmute it and exit KDE with it unmuted. The only good thing about this is that the KDE startup sound doesn't play (it's muted) when KDE starts up. Other than that, it's just annoying. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
Stephan, Since your not getting an answer here may I suggest that you write one of the kmix developers listed at the top of the man page your question. Another thought would be to use one of the other mixers and see if you get the same behavior. Then let everyone know what turned up from that research. Cheers, Bob stephan beal wrote:

I had this problem with the sound until about a week (or less) ago when the kernel and KDE were updated by smart. When I was having the problem I found that the PCM slider under Volume in Control Centre/Hardware/Sound was getting set to 0 at every boot. Now all gone with whatever having been updated.
