What I had saved previously,

Master Volume Tab 87
Master Mono 87
PCM values set to 87
CD 87
Video 87

Settings after Reboot get reset to 

Master 74
Master Mono 74
PCM 52
CD 74
Video 0

Normal shutdown or reboot, results are the same.

Old workaround to use /sbin/salsa -s in /etc/rc.local
does not work anymore.

[olivares at localhost ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other
init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if
you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/sbin/salsa -l
[olivares at localhost ~]$ 

What takes care of the saving the sound settings?  

New Sound server, pulse audio?
/etc/modprobe.conf with /sbin/alsactl restore,
/sbin/alasctl store, or with /sbin/salsa -l and what
saves the settings alsactl or salsa?

We need to have this corrected so that users in Fedora
8 can have a pleasant experience with sound.  Settings
in Fedora 7 do not get saved as well but good thing
that the workaround does work there :).

Antonio
