These are some of my notes, the post gets an entry here if and only if it works for me.
Volume mutes on every reboot.
Here are the steps to fix this problem
1. Run 'alsamixer' in the Terminal
2. Get the settings where you want them and press Esc to exit
3. Run 'sudo alsactl store 0' in the Terminal
4. Run 'sudo gedit /etc/rc.local' in the Terminal
5. Add "/sbin/alsactl restore" to the end of that file and save it
6. Reboot and test the results!
