ALSA will have all of the mixer controls muted upon initialization.  It
has mechanisms for the saving and restoration of the volume controls
upon bootup/shutdown.  Some distributions save this information
automatically, some do not.  On my box, I set it up the way I want to
hear it at every boot, and then saved the settings.  The command to do
this is:

	# alsactl store

And then at bootup, running 'alsactl restore' from the startup scripts
will restore the volume settings for a distribution that doesn't attempt
to automatically do this.
