I've noticed this problem occurring for several Ubuntu releases. It's very small, but continually annoys me. Maybe someone can confirm it's a bug and then I can submit it as such.
On the default installation of Ubuntu 11.04 (32) the audio volume was too low. Even when I set it at its maximum, I couldn't hear enough through my Logitech headset. For that, I installed alsamixer, opened it, chose "Logitech USB Headset" as the card and increased the "speaker" bar to its highest. This gave me a much higher threshold and is fine.
The problem is that when I boot Ubuntu, the volume is always at its maximum. Unless I adjust the GNOME panel slider a bit left or right, it won't return to normal. Sometimes I forget to do that and get a nasty shock in the ears.
Did anyone else come across this? Can it be fixed easily?
