Every time I reboot the master sound is muted! How do I save the sound settings?

And in my case, the setting is after startup always 93% of the max. loudness, no matter what I adjusted before the last shutdown. Also little annoying...

Re: how to save sound settings

I just installed Xubuntu on an older PC which I plan to sell and its saving the sound settings. Why can't mine? I can't think of what I did different to make the master volume go mute every time I shut down??

Maybe Xfce doesn't save the volume settings at all and they are reset to your OS defaults every time you reboot/shutdown.

On FreeBSD, you can simply set volume at a driver level during boot time in /boot/device.hints, e.g. hint.cd.0.vol="50".

Isn't there anything similar on Linux?

No it does save the settings normally. I installed Xubuntu on a old PC which I'm selling and the sound volume was saved on that one, but for some reason its not saving on my own PC w/ Xubuntu.

There is some setting I'm missing that someone it this forum may know about.
