Idea #21778: Volume on start is too high

Written by moose the 10 Oct 09 at 05:10. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
If I watch a movie I set the volume very high. Sometimes I forget to set the volume back to a normal value before shutting down. When I start the computer again, the starting sound is much too loud.

Solution #1: Set volume to default value on shutdown

If the volume would be set to a default value on shutdown, I hadn't this problem. This default value should be editable, of course

Solution #2: Make the starting sound independent of the sound volume
Written by mabynke the 10 Jun 11 at 21:12.
It should be possible to set the volume of the starting sound independently of the normal sound volume. Then, it would not be too loud or low, no matter what you set the volume to the day before. There would of course have to be an option to make it use the normal sound volume, should anyone want that.

This should be an option.

I have a vaio laptop and the volume is only adjusted via software. For laptops like mine and many others this option is such a must!

As many consider this to be too trivial I am going to attempt to write a script to do just this.

The ability to have a default volume is a must. Setting it on shutdown just seems irrelevant. If it is the default volume then every time you startup it will be set at the default volume.
