You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand):
Binary package hint: gdm
Log in to Ubuntu.
Before you enter the password, the sound is too loud. It is too loud even with
internal speakers; with external speakers or headphones it's just disastrous.
After you enter the password, the sound returns to normal level.
This bug happens each time the computer is reboot.
What's more interesting, this bug is not there in Hardy (Hardy with all
updates, I have it too): Hardy plays sound on the same level that was
there on the last reboot. Of course, there's a risk that one user will
use another user's sound level settings, at least for a while, but it
should be preferred to what we have now. Finally, keeping the sound
level settings secret sounds a bit paranoid.
What I expected to happen: I expected sound to be played using the level that I
set last time
What actually happened: sound played at maximal magnitude.
And, guys, this bug is a security vulnerability because with this bug
all my neighbors know when my computer reboots.
