Sound is muted after reboot

[slamhound]

I'm guessing there's some simple solution to this, but I can't figure it out. I'm setting up a new 9.10 system and am almost there with it. But one weird problem cropped up after making a few changes. Every time I reboot the computer, the sound is muted. I have to go to "mixer" and then unmute and raise the volume for "front".

I think the first time it was muted actually occurred during DVD playback through myth, but since then, it just occurs on reboot. Once I change the settings in mixer, everything works until I reboot.

Any advice?

You may have done a logout from X and done a "save settings" while the mixer was muted. So it comes up that way on X startup. Try logging out with a "save settings" with the mixer unmuted.

Okay, I tried that, but still no sound after reboot. Any other suggestions for things to try?

try this:
unmute the sound
and #sudo alsactl store

[faical117]

sudo alsa force-reload

sudo alsactl store 0

Delete /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, set the controls in the mixer (you might find the actual problem is in the front channel) and then, as root, run alsactl store.

Thanks. Just changing volume and running "sudo alsactl store" worked for me.
