Hi,

Is it possible to control sound volume on each user account independently?
So when user A logs in and changes the sound volume (with gnome alsa
mixer) to max it won't affect user's B settings.
It is desktop debian (sid) machine, ALSA, Gnome.


It should be possible to write a script that saves the mixer settings at
logout and restores them at login. It happens automatically at shutdown and
startup, so look in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils for the relevant sections and
modify them for your use.

AFAIK that script uses "alsactl {store|restore}" which works only for
root. Use amixer instead.
