I was wondering why every time I booted into FC2 I had to fix my sound
setting again. Thanks for finding this!
Anyhow, I changed /etc/init.d/halt to save to /etc/aumixrc (not a hidden
file). And I added "aumix -L >/dev/null" into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it
now works ok and keeps sound levels after reboot. (Not sure that the
/dev/null really necessary.)

I think you are saying that sound level setting should be set for each
user, not just globally in /etc/aumixrc but in ~/.aumixrc. Do you know
exactly how this could/should be done?
