Correct. The alsactl init script loads volume settings at boot time, and, if configured to do so, saves them when you shut down the computer. However by default the KDE sound system also restores the volume settings when you log in, but does not automatically store them when you log out. Because of this everytime you log in KDE loads the wrong settings. To solve the problem, either start kde, execute /etc/init.fd/alsactl start, open kcontrol=>Sound=>Mixer and save the settings you want so KDE will restore them from now on or open kcontrol=>Sound=>Mixer and uncheck "Load automatically" or whatever it is called in the english version of KDE best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
