Description of problem: Front left and right channels turned off everytime I log into X. Gnome Volume Applet beside clock automatically lowers when raised Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): From Fedora Core 2 How reproducible: On desktop with SoundBlaster Live 5.1, every time I log into X. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into X 2. Raise Master volume from 0 to X (on gnome volume control panel) 3. Log out of X 4. Log into X, volume is 0 again For applet 1(a). Log into X, raise volume on applet Actual results: Volume stays at proper that level if I do not log out of X. For applet, it slowly lowers until 0. Expected results: Volume is always remembered on front channels. For applet, it should stay where I leave it. Additional info: Rear channels do not change levels. (not on IBM A22M with crystal sound laptop). I tried to use the save desktop preferences by checking the box when logging out of X, but it does not fix the sound problem.
There's a similar problem in Development - volume level aren't saved so they default to zero. It's a highly annoying bug as a user, because you have to turn up the volume with each reboot.
This problem solved itself for me when I tried to install a SoundBlaster Audigy LS. Since it is unsupported in FC2, I put my SB live 5.1 back in and now my sound is remembered. I wonder why this didn't work properly from inital install.
