alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #144 was opened from rosenbergd: Every time I start up, connect or disconnect headphones, my volume resets to 74%, I've also noticed the microphone is doing the same thing. I'm not sure if this is a pulseaudio bug, but here are the logs from `pulseaudio -vv` which seems to show alsa increasing the volume to 74% after initially setting it to 25% which is the correct volume that it should be at: ``` D: [pulseaudio] module-alsa-card.c: Jack 'Headphone Jack' is now plugged in D: [pulseaudio] device-port.c: Setting port analog-output-headphones to status yes D: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-port-available.c: Trying to switch to port analog-output-headphones I: [pulseaudio] alsa-sink.c: Successfully enabled deferred volume.
