Description of problem: I noticed that each time I logged in, the volume setting was being reset to 0% (i.e., I was getting a red x on the volume applet). Setting this to something more reasonable, say 100%, would restore sound to the current session, but it would return to 0% the next time I logged in. After "fiddling" for a while, I noticed that I also had "lost" the "system start" sound on login. I changed the setting for "sound effects" to something other than 0%, logged out and back in, and I got both the "system start" sound as well as a non-zero volume level for my apps. In addition, I noticed that if the sound effects level was set to something other than 100%, each time I logged in, the system sound level got lower and lower (83% the first time, about 65% the second, ...) Is there some "deadly dance" here? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libcanberra-0.12-2.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Does this still happen with PA 0.9.15-14?
Yes, this is still broken with: pulseaudio-utils-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-debuginfo-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.16-1.test1.fc12.x86_64 Here is how I tested this: 1. I had my "usual" setup with the system-wide volume set at 95% and the "Alert Volume" slider set at 100%. 2. Logging in plays a nice loud "login sound", and the system-wide volume (as displayed by putting the cursor over the volume applet) remains at 95%. 3. I reset the "Alert Volume" slider to about 50% and reboot. 4. Logging in again, I get a much quieter "login sound", and the system-wide volume now says 45%. I'm guessing, but it appears that some code is multiplying the system-side volume with the "Alert Sound" setting percentage and getting 45%.
Sorry, adding libcanberra version: libcanberra-0.13-1.fc12.x86_64 libcanberra-gtk2-0.13-1.fc12.x86_64 libcanberra-debuginfo-0.13-1.fc12.x86_64
This is actuall a libvorbis bug, it seems *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 505610 ***
