Comment 4 for bug 204536

Just a note before a clean install. I tried turning off the integrated sound card, and it doesn't help. However, I noticed that only one volume is not remembered. When I open the window and want to choose the device from the menu, this is the list of available devices:
1. CA0106 (Alsa mixer)
2. mixer00 (OSS mixer)
3. Playback: ALSA PCM on front: 0 (CA0106) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer) <-- this one causes problems
4. Capture: Monitor Source of ALSA PCM on front: 0 (CA0106) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)
5. Capture: ALSA PCM on front: 0 (CA0106) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)

I choose the 3rd device (and this is the one that the volume is not remembered). It has only one channel available (Master). When I change the volume of the CA0106 device, it is remembered and does combine with the Playback one (if I set the volume of CA0106 to 50%, and the Master on 3rd device will remain at 100%, the final volume will be 50%, but the applet will still show 100%). After restart the volume of CA0106 will remain at 50%. But if I go the other way around (set the CA0106 to 100% and the Master on 3rd device to 50%, the final volume again is 50%) and restart the system, the volume of the 3rd device is reset to 100% and the volume is back at 100% after reboot. That generally describes the entire problem I have. Now on to a clean install ;)
