can t get main volume stay desired setting

Hi all, I just recently installed Windows Vista Beta 2 x86. I'm having a problem with the main speaker volume. I have a Creative SoundBlaster X-fi ExtremeMusic sound card, if that is of importance. Every time I start Vista the volume shows to be at 100 and basically blasts me out of the room. I change the volume to 10 or so and restart and it's back at 100!??!?! Why is this happening and what do I do to make it stay at what I set it to?
Thanks much! Billy

I Got the same thing. its a nightmare. I also have a x-fi and the latest drivers. The upgrade didnt find the audio device. I plan to uninstall all software and try again.
Do you get random volumes too? I mean I set it at 8-10 which is fine, but certain sounds like .wavs are still blisteringly loud! Very odd
