Bug Description

Binary package hint: alsa-utils

Every time I log in (or perhaps it has to be a restart, I'll check later and update the bug), the "speaker" volume in alsamixer is set to 0. So I have to run alsamixer from the command line, and turn it back up.

I'm not sure what other information I can give. Let me know if you need anything, and I'll provide it.
