    No sound at startup

    A few days ago, my sound suddenly stopped working. I was able to get it back with
    Code:
    alsamixer
    , "front" was muted.
    Sadly, this problem also persist when I restart my pc. Is there a way that I dont have to unmute at every startup?

    PulseAudio overwrites your saved alsamixer settings on startup.

    The easiest way to fix this is to remove PulseAudio:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa gnome-alsamixer
    sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio vlc-plugin-pulse

    Sound works from the start again, thanks a lot. Whats the whole deal anyway with pulseaudio and ALSA ? What exactly did I install and what did I uninstall?
    New Problem: The volume control in the panel is gone, and my volume control buttons dont work anymore.

    How can I reinstall ALSA? Should I get rid of PulseAudio so I dont have the same problem again (no sound at startup). Do I need both?
