If you find a way to do this from within gnome, please
let me know. I have the same problem. But, here's a
workaround. There is a program called 'volume' that
can be run at boot time through the module options.
I placed the following line in /etc/modutils/arch/i386:
post-install sb /bin/volume 10
So my i386 file now looks like this:
...
alias midi awe_wave
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330
post-install sb /bin/volume 10
...
When this is entered, run update-modules and the
modules.conf file will be updated, the lines being
added to that file. I just posted the sound module
lines here. Your entry may be somewhat different
depending on what your loading, of course, but the key
command line is the post-install. This runs the
volume program after the sound modules are loaded
and sets the volume to 10 percent.
The volume-2.1.tgz should be attached. There may be
other programs that do the same thing, but this worked
so I didn't really look any further.
