I've removed the ignore_dB=1 to test, and Pulse saves the volume across reboots for me.
But I tend to use the volume buttons (both the indicator in the taskbar and on the keyboard) quite often (e.g. for music with different gains) so before disabling PCM, I've found it easy to accidentally return to the distorted volume -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1311525 Title: Can only use half the sound range without overdriving sound Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a Nvidia CK804 (Asus A8N SLI Premium), the audio can only be set to "base" (63 %) without overdriving the sound. This is because 0db (100 %) is reported wrong in pulseaudio; when seen in alsamixer it actually sets PCM to 12db, causing distortions. According to PulseAudio this is a bug in the alsa driver http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pulseaudio-discuss/2012-April/013249.html http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PulseAudioStoleMyVolumes/ "If you are experiencing distortions/clipping even though the inner volumes are set to 0dB, then this means that the dB information your ALSA driver exports is simply incorrect. In this case please file a bug against your audio driver and ask them to correct (i.e. shift up) the volume scale of that volume control."
