The default is for Xine to use PCM volume, so even if you set it to save the volume, after rebooting it wouldn't be the same. Maybe you have to enable software mixer for the volume to be saved. I'm guessing Xine doesn't have the permissions to save the volumes of PCM.
well here's the thing: I'm not talking about rebooting... I'm talking about "open xine, play dvd, turn volume up to about 50%, close xine, start new xine and volum is back at 10%" - I don't think it changes pcm volume, but I'll have to check out alsamixer to be sure... even if it did change pcm volume, I doubt it resets when it's exited... *shrug* I just deal with it anyway
]]>i'm not sure.. I know my volume is never saved... I have the box checked "save volume on exit" but it never happens... maybe it's trying an rc file in /etc...
try setting it as root, then open as a normal user... if it works, then there's something goofy going on
Xine uses the PCM volume control.

]]>Think it was a glitch when xine was installed, setting permissions on the .xine directories / subdirectories.
check file permissions on /home/username/.xine/ and below ?
]]>BTW, I have tried in the past to set the preferences to 'master of the know.........' but it never seems to 'take' (bad word but u get the meaning) . Any ideas about that? Is it the way that the install is done under Arch?
thx
