Assuming you're running Mac OS 9, this is a known bug.  Open the Energy
Saver control panel, click the Advance panel, and de-select "Preserve
memory contents on sleep."

All OS 9 users of iBooks and iMacs should follow this procedure
unless/until a real fix is issued.  Meanwhile, Apple has issued a
temporary "fix" which disables that option, instead of fixing it so it
works.

Cheers,

Sorry, boot chord volume isn't affected by sound level settings.  This
has been true since the chord was introduced.  Very annoying, isn't
it?!  Cheers,
