Walid, something seems to be wrong with your DE setup. I must admit, I was confused as well - I believed local and remote volume controls are totally independent; they are not. The way I tested things was: - Boot TC. - Log in on TC console as user, become root - apt-get update && apt-get install alsa-utils on TC - run alsamixer on TC -> Notice how both Master and PCM are at 0. - chvt 7 - Log in to an X2Go session -> Notice how startup sound plays - switch back to console where alsamixer runs -> Notice Master is now at 100 -> Notice PCM is at the same value as set inside X2Go session - Move the volume slider in the X2Go session up and down -> Notice PCM volume in alsamixer move along - Disconnect and reconnect session -> Notice volume slider in X2Go session is at the value that was last set -> same goes for terminating the session and starting a new one -> same goes for rebooting the TC before reconnecting So, whatever volume setting I choose in the X2Go session *is* saved and restored upon reconnect, because the DE I chose (Trinity) is behaving correctly. Seems to be a bug with your particular DE, not with X2Go. -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243
