Pulseaudio suddenly defaults to Mute when rebooting/startup

[Cybie257]

I've been using Pulseaudio and overall it works great. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, when I boot up my computer it's defaulting PulseAudio volume to Mute. I tried adjusting it up and rebooting hoping the setting will stick, no luck. Tried re-installing PulseAudio, still no luck.

Any ideas?

Anyone???

Is there a configuration file somewhere that I can change a setting to max out the volume on boot up???

This has been solved.

Reading through many bug articles, apparently something 'un-ticks' the check-box for:

Audio settings management (alsa-utils)

within the Services Settings. (IE: System->Administration->Services)

Weird. Never had that problem before.

But, it's fixed.

You, sir or ma'am, rock! This was one of those minor nuisances I went months without addressing, and when I finally did, the first articles made it look like I was gonna have to do all sorts of crap to fix it. I do love these simple solutions! I owe you a beer.

I'm using Karmic and I can't find "Services" under System->Administration - is there another workaround for this?

gnome 2.26 removed service admin.. and you can use bum(bootup manager)

And how do you fix PulseAudio's mute on boot using BootUp Manager in Karmic? There aren't any alsa-utils listed there.

Thanks, Cybie. You just fixed a new Debian Wheezy installation whose sound I've been struggling with for the last week. More beer for you!
