I am using Debian "testing" and I am getting exactly this problem -- volumes muted after reboot. This is definitely because of the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils script getting executed twice. To discover this, I did the following:
Copy /usr/sbin/alsactl to /usr/sbin/alsactl.exe Create new /usr/sbin/alsactl something like the following: #!/bin/bash echo `date` "Running alsactl $1 $2 $3" >> /var/log/alsactl alsactl_exe $1 $2 $3 This means alsactl creates a log file with the date on every execution. Created 'real files' in /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc[06].d folders (copies of /etc/init.d/alsa-utils) with logging going to /var/log/alsactl. As a side issue, in order to try and fix this I also have rc.local running alsactl restore. See attached file alsactl -- this illustrates the problem. /etc/rc0.d /K50alsa-utils runs twice on shutdown. The second time around, the volumes have been zeroed and channels muted; this then gets written to the asound.state file. Strangely, rc.local also gets executed twice on startup. I know I'm not using Ubuntu but this is the only thread I've found (with a lot of searching) that has the same issue. Any ideas why my init.d scripts are running twice?!
