It's not really supported. You might be able to make it work by doing a first boot on a prototype device, changing the volume to the desired level manually, and then grabbing the file with "device-volumes" in its name under ~/.config/pulse. That file contains the saved volumes. The file name contains the machine id, so you can't just ship the file as is on the final product (unless you make sure that all devices have the same machine id, which doesn't seem like a good idea). You could modify module-device-restore so that if the main database doesn't exist, the module loads data from the file that was grabbed from the prototype, and then saves that data to the main database and continues as usual. Or you could make a script that is called on the first boot, sets the volume with pactl, and on subsequent boots doesn't do anything. I suppose that would be easier. --Â Tanu
