Right, I wouldn't expect them to. I just said that the same program that was used to change the setting could be used to change it back. > The problem is the settings are not being restored currently.

So you mean they _are_ being restored currently, but you want every boot to start with the "factory defaults" again? > Programs such as skype directly control the alsa mixer .. even if a > user is unaware. And this isn't reflected in the pulse audio levels? That works for me, when I use alsamixer to change the levels, I instantly see the change in the mixer applet. That doesn't work for you? I agree that this would be a bug. Thanks!
