Media does not retain preferred settings

[cebif]

The Media application does not retain its settings after a reboot. Restarting Media from inside the application does not lose preferred settings. 1) Open Preferences/Media. 2) Change settings to whatever is preferred. 3) Restart the Media from restart button either the video settings tab or the first audio settings tab. The result is the settings have been retained according to your preferences. The expected behavior. If you go through the steps to 2 or 3 inclusive, then reboot Haiku the settings have gone back to defaults. This is reproduceable every time. I was testing in r24008 on its own partition.

Is this one still valid? I cannot reproduce it anymore and remember that I did some work related to this quite some time ago. Could you please verify that this bug has been resolved by now.

I can confirm this bug is still valid.

I have a SoundBlaster Live and every time I boot into Haiku, I have to set the 'AC97 Mixer'-settings again. (Specifically: Media Preferences -> Emuxki SB Live -> AC97 Mixer -> uncheck 'Line In' Mute)

I have a different experience; Media Preferences are not saved when the "Restart Media Services" is clicked (media_server restarted).

Using Echo24 driver (Echo Mia Midi)

How my experience works out and the way I reported this bug relates to: driver ich_ac97 for a nvidia nforce2 chipset that contains Realtek ALC655 sound.

I've also noticed that "Refuse input format changes" and "Refuse output format changes" checkboxes in the "Setup" tab are always checked (I don't know what they mean however) and unchecking them and restarting Media Prefs checks them again.
