volume control issues with 10.4.7?

Hi, folks. I've got an Mac Mini Core Duo that I love.

Recently, though, it began exhibiting some strangeness with the volume control. Whenever I start up (or restart) the machine, I find the volume control set to the default setting (exact middle). I notice because I typically set it to 3/4 or higher.

Any idea what might be causing this behavior? Can anyone duplicate? I recently updated to 10.4.7 and didn't notice this beforehand, so I'm thinking it might have something to do with the update.

Thanks for any thoughts!
 
I did some more testing and found that the issue isn't with 10.4.7 at all but rather due to the headphone jack. If I have nothing plugged into the headphone jack when I boot, the volume setting is remembered. If I have external speakers attached, though, the volume is reset to the default.

Does anyone else see this?
