Sound problems using 10.6.1

[Mufasa804]

This problem actually showed up after upgrading to 10.6. I just wantedto say I have also done the update to 10.6.1.

Anyways, everytime I turn off mylaptop and turn it back on, when it boots it boots with the sound all the way up. Nearly soiled myself when I plugged in headphones and my ears got attacked by a song. Anyone else experiencing something like this? Is there a setting I'm missing?

Again, when I turn off my computer I have the sound muted, but once I turn it back on it's at full blast.

I would suggest zapping the PRAM as I believe the volume settings are stored here.

How does one do that?

Zapping PRAM is simple, just reboot your Mac and hold down "Command(the Apple key)+Option(the Alt key)+P+R" while it is booting, when you hear the startup sound for the seond time the operation is complete, and you can release the key combination. Now just let your Mac boot as normal.

I reset the PRAM and it still does the same thing.
