I'm curious as to whether this sort of thing is the hardware is initialising itself in this peculiar state, and the software just leaves things "as they are," or whether the software is preset with silly defaults. While muting line-in is probably a good default (most people probably don't use it, and having everything turned up creates noise), but some of the other levels being muted by default isn't (e.g. master front, PCM, etc.). And there's always someone who reckons just one volume control will suffice, while being ignorant of the fact that different sound sources can have wildly different sound levels, or that having the microphone audio being turned up along with their CD player is not a good idea. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
