| This, I've never seen before.  The way it is supposed to work is that
every
| time you shut down, the mixer levels are saved, and restored on the next
| boot.  It sounds like you may have saved mixer levels which are muted, but
| even if you did, it should revert on the next shutdown after you unmute
| them.
|
| Make sure you're using the ALSA mixer, and not the OSS mixer.
