Re: sound volume not persistent between reboots

[Rick Reynolds <rick@rickandviv.net>]

Found the problem.  There was a script in /etc/rc.boot that was calling 
aumix.  Since rc.boot gets called after the rcS.d scripts (and before 
rc<runlevel>.d scripts) it was negating what alsactl had done for me.

This is just one of several little 2.4.x -> 2.6.x kernel upgrade tweaks 
I've needed to root out of my system.

Thanks for asking me good questions which inspired me to keep digging 
until I found it.

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
