Description of problem: When the system is rebooted with the volume muted using the volume control applet, the volume is not muted after the restart. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fresh install of Fedora 7 with latest updates (as of 7:00 PM EST June 10, 2007) How reproducible: Very reproducable Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mute the sound card using the Gnome Volume Control applet (right click the applet, and click on "Mute") 2. Reboot the system and log back in 3. Play a sound. (The sound used in my test was in Firefox while navigating around MySpace. Go to any blog page with music on it.) Actual results: The sound will play, while the Volume Control applet still shows the output is muted. Expected results: The sound output should be muted, even after a reboot. Additional info: This is happening on an HP DV5000T CTO laptop. I have not tried on other systems as of yet.
This is a problem with ALSA and the ALSA utils not remembering the settings. gnome-volume-control uses the ALSA mute controls, so it should be remembered across reboots. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 247468 ***
