Comment 52 for bug 204536

Is there a way that we can apply the fix to karmic or will we have to wait to upgrade to lucid?

 Every time I log in to my machine I have to use gnome-alsamixer to lower "PCM" volume and "Headphone" volume because volume is set way too high. I am unable to use the pulse audio icon volume in my panel because it's almost all the way down.

Once the volume is all the way down and I attempt to raise the volume using the pulse audio volume icon on my panel both "Headphone" and "PCM" volume is affected in gnome-alsamixer. As a result the volume is raised too high. I have to use the gnome-alsamixer utility to adjust the volume. I have to do this every time I reboot my machine.
