My Ubuntu is staring with the "speaker" signal in the alsa-mixer. Everytime I boot my computer I have to go there and uncheck the "mute" checkbox. How can I make it unmute automatically so that I don't have to do it manually everytime?

Thanks.

You should file a bug report. Instructions here.

A simple workaround is to add this line into your .profile which will run every time you log on. If you don't want to set it to 50% volume, you can adjust your volume level you want it, and then check to see what it is by running:

alsa-mixer

Then, to test it out, play some music, and run the next line of code. You can play around witht the % just to make sure it's working for you.

amixer set Master 50%

The next line is supposed to keep the volumes at your prescribed levels, but I've found that it doesn't always work.

sudo alsactl store Master 50%

So, to make it set every time you log in, add it to your .profile

echo 'amixer set Master 50%' >> ~/.profile
