[Cinnamon] Default volume level

So the default volume in Cinnamon seems to be set to max (but muted), even if it was a different level in my previous session. So when I forget about this and unmute, I am slowly driving myself up the wall.

How can I change the default volume in Cinnamon?

Re: [Cinnamon] Default volume level

Try changing the state of any auto-mute settings in alsamixer.  If it is enabled, disable it or vice versa.   I had a problem identical to that -- in addition, the headset was not muted.  if you plugged in a headset, it would mute the headset and unmute the speakers.

Edit: Note that this was a general issue -- not one specific to Cinnamon (which I do not use)
