[SOLVED]GNOME always starts muted
Hello,
I am using GNOME (shell v3.8.2) and GDM (v3.8.1) as display manager. When I login to gnome sound seems to be muted (also on gdm) and I have to de-mute it every time. I saw some similar complaints on forums but most of them were about alsa and not about pulseaudio, so no luck. Is there a default pulseaudio configuration file or a command to store and restore the volume level?

Re: [SOLVED]GNOME always starts muted
This is not a alsa/pulseaudio specific problem. You have to install alsa-utils, then GNOME will save the sound level.

Re: [SOLVED]GNOME always starts muted
This problem has recently begun to affect several of my systems as well. I have no ~/.pulse/*-device-volumes.tdb to delete as mentioned by heftig in this flyspray. I have happily used my systems without the alsa-utils package and not encountered this problem before. Although the OP is using gdm/gnome, one of my effected systems is using lxdm/lxde and the other lxdm/xfce4.
Installing alsa-utils, running alsamixer and setting the vol levels in there followed by `sudo alsactl store` seems to have fixed the problem, but I have to think there is a non-alsa solution.
