Nope. These are saved by /etc/rc.d/mixer. Adjust the mixer under root account to your desired values and call `/etc/rc.d/mixer stop'. This will save the state. Reboot to test. If this doesn't work, then somehow, the mixer is set to different values during shutdown and before /etc/rc.d/mixer is called and that's tricky to find out -but a desktop mixer like kmix can be the cause of that if you're running a desktop environment via xdm/kdm/gdm. -- Mel
