Anyone else have their volume level reset to minimum at boot? Seems that no matter what I set the volume to, every time I re-boot the volume is set to near minimum. Didn't happen with previous versions. ??? :Angry-Tongue:

How about creating a new Admin User - enable fast user switching - and set that User as auto log in and then restart and see if the volume biso is sorted. If so, then the issue is in your User Library so u can start dragging .plist files to desktop to pin point the issue.

Did not work. Seems to be another thread on the forum about this. Common issue...

Deleted both of the files in Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/Audio (asks for Admin password) did a restart and voila! No more problems. Set a sound level and it stays there.

Thank you so much. I would have never figured that out.
