Yes, this is a pain. I have to "unmute" the sound every time I boot, is there a way to fix this?
Yes, yes, there is... ( I knew all these months of sitting in ALSA news groups would pay-off someday )

Get your volume levels set the way you want them, preferably through alsamixer.

In a Konsole window type the following:
Code:
alsactl store
Place the following in a location where it will be run each time you boot, best place is in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh -=- at the very bottom of the file:
Code:
alsactl restore
Any time you change your volume, or mute status information, you will want to re-run the "store" command again...

Works great for me, I get my settings the same as I want, every time I boot, no fuss...

SIDE NOTE: not sure if you have to run these both in root, though - you might try them as user, and see if they work, if not, try them as root - I think it has to be done as root though, just not sure...

Hope this helps,
