Bug Description
Maybe not technically a bug, but deserves consideration --
Machine in question:
iMac G4 roundbase, 800MHz
768MiB system memory
60GiB HD
On startup, the system's volume is set very high, probably max. When using "pro" speakers (the Harmon-Kardon baseballs) the only way to change the volume is to lower the master once a gnome session is loaded. Keyboard controls do work eventually, but not soon enough to prevent getting blasted out of your chair.
Effects may include speaker damage, spilled coffee, chest pain, angry coworkers/

Thanks for your bug report. We need some more information about that issue. The starting volume of the Mac is controlled by the Firmware controlled by OS X, so it should be at a reasonable value if you had set it reasonable in OS X before you boot from the CD.
Also, if you can still reproduce it with the final Feisty Live CD, you should change the title of the bug report, otherwise it will not be handled as it refers to a beta release with a final release already available.
