Comment 1 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-04-04 21:01:22 UTC 
this is not an aumix bug.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-04-05 18:47:19 UTC 
or a kernel bug. In fact, it's not really a bug.

The module is not loaded, so mixer settings are not initialized.

A gross hack was added to control-center-1.2.2-8 so that the module
gets loaded when gnome starts, but it's certainly not the best solution.
