Public bug reported: After a reboot, if the selected audio output is not the default analog output (ie optical or coaxial) the volume set by the user is forgotten and so the volume is set to maximum.
This is a serious problem because it can damage hearing and equipment. If nothing else the default should be minimum volume, not maximum. Maximum volume should never be the default for anything.
