Volume remains at 100%

Post by JamDonut »

Hi, I have an issue with the volume settings. I have installed Mint 14 with Cinnamon.

Using the volume icon on the right side of the taskbar I can change the volume. I'd like the OS to remember what I set this at so that each time I boot into the system, the volume persists at what I set it at.

What happens now is when I reboot the volume resets and is always at 100% so I have to change this each session. This is rather annoying as I need to remember to change this each time. I forget sometimes and either nearly blow my ear drums and/or wake the neighbours.

I have the same problem. I'm using Mint 14 64-bit with KDE. Would be very interested in a solution that always set volume where I last left it.

I have got the same problem. Nobody knows any solution?

I hope it will solve the issue but I thik it should be solved some other way - to be able automaticly store volume level at logout and restore at login.

It sounds like a driver problem to me. I'd turn off sound in bios, install a PCI sound card. Linux would certainly have the driver in its kernel. I recently had a sound issue with the onboard sound section. I found that they sell a cheap PCI card with the 9 pin Front panel header, if you need front panel sound . It's the ASUS Xonar DG 5.1 PCI Sound Card.

snd_oxygen is the loaded driver, which should be the same driver as the Xonar DG suggested as a solution above.

I was only recently able to get this card functioning after disabling IOMMU in BIOS, now have sound but also have this volume issue.
