10.2.1 doesn't appear to have fixed the muted sound problem/effect on my
iBook (700MHz, 14 inch) that was introduced with 10.2. Maybe it isn't
defined as a problem. Are the sound volumes back up under 10.2.1 for other
iBook users out there?

10.2.1 does appear to have fixed the annoying aesthetic problem whereby
"aqua" blue buttons were appearing when the desktop and general preferences
were set to "graphite" mode.

Cordially,
