ALSA starts muted

I was wondering if there is a simple way to automatically unmute alsa sound output on system startup. Maybe there's a comandline utility which sets up the volume? I'm fed up with having to do this myself with gnome mixer everytime I reboot my computer.

Re: ALSA starts muted

get your settings where you want them, and run "alsactl store"
you can also have "alsactl store" run at shutdown, but you have to run it once....

on startup, just run "aslactl restore"

Re: ALSA starts muted

there is a daemon in the wiki that can store and restore your alsa volumes and shutdown and startup too

Load your sound modules if you have to.
Then type :

amixer set Master unmute
amixer set PCM unmute

alsamixer (set your volume)

alsactl store

echo "alsactl restore" >> /etc/rc.local
