I vaguely remember this happening to my system a few years ago. I'll be using MC 10 and I'll shut it down. When I start it up again, and start playing music, the wave volume is all the way up, but the master volume is still at around the mid-range level. I have to re-adjust in order to get everything to work again. I'm not sure if it's MC that's doing this, or my sound card.
I'm using an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 card with the most recent drivers. Any ideas?
