I'm interested in automatically setting the volume control i/o to full
volume on user log in ?
At the moment every time I log in I have to open up the volume control
application and manually set it to full volume ...
I would like to avoid having to do this ?
I'm running FC4 and have an m-audio 24/96 sound card
I imagine I could script it or perhaps change a conf file somewhere, but
I'm just guessing ...
Any help would be much appreciated ...
