You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am starting an audio application (a.g. aplay, paplay, any media player) automatically after login (through the "Startup Applications"). I can see that the app is playing some audio through PulseAudio by checking pavucontrol. However, no sound is output to the speaker.
When I delay the startup of the app a couple of seconds (e.g. via sleep 5), the sound is played as expected. We tried to analyze the issue here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/703840 It seems that there is something wrong with the mixer when audio apps are launched very early after boot (or login?): The "Master Playback Volume" is set to 0 at the ALSA level, and it seems that PulseAudio is not able to raise it if audio playback is started so early. Attempts to automatically raise the "Master Playback Volume" through amixer also failed. The "Master Playback Volume" stays at 0. As mentioned above, when the start of the playback is delayed a bit, the "Master Playback Volume" is at 100 as expected.
