[indiana-discuss] why volume set at max in os2009.11

[solarg]

hello all,
after upgrading to os2009.11 on my laptop, when i launch realplayer, 
volume is set at max value, and it's the case every time i reboot the 
laptop. What's the matter with the sound? the problem never arises with 
os2008.11

the second point is console beep, to disable it, i have to do:
- create a shell script that contains "xset b off"
- add it System->Preferences-Sessions->Startup programs

thanks in advance for help,

gerard
