My T41 boots with sound muted. I checked the alsa wiki page and set amixer, stored it, rebooted, yet it boots muted.
Thought of a quick solution to this conundrum, so put
amixer set Master 90% unmute
amixer set PCM 85% unmute
in my rc.local. It still boots muted! Checked dmesg and grepped amixer or alsa but no show.
I'm out of ideas... Any suggestions?

Silly question:
You did not mention whether you have the alsa daemon in the DAEMONs array in rc.conf. Do you?

Not a silly question at all
I just double checked and it wasn't there. Put it in, rebooted and all is well...
Cheers!

After doing:
amixer set Master 90% unmute
amixer set PCM 85% unmute
Did you confirm that it worked after doing it (so did you do something like: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav)?
If it works, did you store the current settings of your player like so:
alsactl store
Those are just some things I needed to do when I was having sound issues awhile back. This seemed to work out for my situation.
::EDIT::
Sorry for the post, was creating this before another entry was placed in. Glad it is working again
