I don't have the headphones in the USB port; they're standard headphones that use the 3.5mm jack or whatever that size is. Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: Marshall F.

Hi Sara, I've noticed that if I use headphones in one USB port, set things the way I want them and then change the USB port; the sound settings aren't preserved. Could this be your problem?

In the sound window under the output tab I assume you selected your output device in the table before interacting with the sliders? David, Command+q probably would save the settings because the close button only closes that particular window and not the app in question. Smile.

Ok, here's what I do. I goto the apple menu and enter on system prefs. I vo around to the sounds button and vo space it. I vo around to input or output or whichever I need and interact with the sliders to change them. It works great. I vo until I hear close and vo space to close the prefs. All is great until I reboot...boom! All the sliders back to default. Even the sighted person can't see any save buttons in system prefs.
