I have a Fedora 7 system with all the latest changes as of August 13 applied. I have the following problem: When I go to System - Administration - Soundcard Detection - Volumes Settings and raise the volume then click Apply and then OK the volume is raised for sometime. However, subsequently I find that the volume has regressed back to its original setting (approximately half of total volume). It seems like there is no persistence to the change. Is this a bug or something unique to my system (Dell Optiplex GX150 using Intel Corp - Model 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio Controller Module: snd-intel8x0 with PCM Device: Intel 82801BA-ICH2) I would appreciate any advice concerning this situation. -- Donald A.
