Prior to 13.2 I set the sound volume in the Mixer (bottom right, System Tray) and it would stay as set from logout to login to logout..... ad finitum. Now, under 13.2 the volume setting changes according to some unknown algorithm. For example, last night I set the volume(s) in the Mixer to be at their maximum and I then adjust the actual volume of the sound I want to hear from the speakers via the volume control of my sound card (SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium). A few minutes ago I turn on VLC to be able to watch some television --- and find that there is almost no sound coming from the speakers! I look at the Mixer (icon/widget, bottom RH) and found that all the volume settings have been reset to much lower level. Reset by _what_? Anyone know, please, what is required to make the settings in Mixer to *stick* and not be randomly altered by something in 13.2? (There have been posts in this mail list from people who suddenly found that they had no sound. I think that the answer to my question would also solve their problem.)
