Igor, I'm responding as someone also affected by this issue. Using the command you gave in comment #25 I saw that both pulseaudio and pipewire were using the same audio device(s).
I used the command 'sudo systemctl disable --global pipewire' to disable pipewire and deleted the ~/.config/pulse/ directory. After I rebooted several times I can see that the volume is no longer set to maximum after rebooting or logging out and back in. This workaround is documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pipewire/+bug/1897965/comments/23 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1953052 Title: In Jammy sound level reset after reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-utils/+bug/1953052/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
