Bug Description

Just installed Gutsy on this hardware: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP_Pavilion_DV8220EA

The volume was very low for many users of HP dv8000 laptops, so good that someone seems to be looking at this. But now it's too high! It really blasts that login jingle out!

... and sorry but the alsa script for collecting info for bugs is uploading, but not telling me where! http://www.linux-sound.info/alsa/index.php?task=scripts

There's a copy of the output run under Feisty here: http://pastebin.ca/565064

This is intractable. _Some_ hardware will experience either "too quiet" or "too loud" by default. There is _nothing_ that we can do save 1) simply not restore state (volume) on boot and 2) rely on the graphical environment's (KMix|mixer_applet2|xfce4-mixer) to restore state.

Obviously there is something that can be done, because someone's done it. The sound level is now great. Thanks.

Driver issue, not state restoration issue.
