Hi i found the solution to all sound muting problems this is because alsa mutes the sound when it exits and also if pulseaudio is installed it only exits after alsa meaning when alsa mutes the volume pulseaudio in turn saves that value thus it is mute after every boot
i found the solution here http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556971 in case u do not understand edit /etc/init.d/alsa-utils with mousepad or some other editor and find the following lines esac card_OK "$TARGET_CARD" || log_action_end_msg_and_exit "$( [ ! "$2" ] ; echo $? ; )" "none loaded" store_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1 mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1 log_action_end_msg_and_exit "$EXITSTATUS" change mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1 to #mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1 thus disabling the muting and saves all your troubles if does not work then: sudo chmod 777 /var/lib/alsa/asound.state alsactl store set alsactl restore to load on startup if it is still mute ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #556971 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=556971 -- [Xubuntu Karmic] Pulseaudio doesn't save volumes when rebooting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/449783 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
