I believe the volume level settings work fine on 2.1 but AFTER you are
logged in.  The problem is probably that you are playing sound via
*loginHook* script which is executed as root, not as the user who
is loggin in.  Perhaps, it might be possible to set the loginHook
sound play level via setting in the *root*'s Prefereces.
