Default volume is muted Why???

[yusuo85]

whenever i boot my ubuntu machine the sound is always muted by default how can i change this

When you have the volume set where you want it, try

sudo alsactl store 0
in a terminal.

I had the same problem, but when I ran


sudo alsactl store 0

I get the following error:

alsactl: get_control:209: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Master Playback Volume,0': No such file or directory

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Joe.
