[Bug 869795] [NEW] Gnome session starts with maximum sound level

 

Public bug reported:

On Dell Inspiron 9300, Oneiric beta (all updates as of 2011/10/07) the
"Ubuntu" Gnome session starts with sound volume to the max, producing a
tremendously loud session opening jingle.

Lowering volume, logging out and rebooting, the problem is back (set
volume isn't remembered).

This doesn't happen in KDE sessions on same machine.

(As a safeguard I would request that no opening sound should ever be
produced with a volume set higher than a reasonable default... Figure a
laptop with good loudspeakers opening with a TREMENDOUSLY LOUD sound in
a meeting room, train, whatever...)

=> Same issue also seen on another machine (Compaq Mini)
