[Bug 45739] Re: Loud startup noise during boot

[Sebastian Breier]

I'm seconding this request. The volume on the edgy knot-3 LiveCD and
(later) installed version is on 100%, and I just find it highly
annoying, though it could even be hurtful to people with sensitive
hearing or might damage the speakers.

The Gnome startup is so fast these days that I can press the volume
hotkeys really quickly, but you still hear at least a third of the
startup sound at maximum volume till the laptop reacts. It should be 40%
or 50%, as michiel said.
