Forgive me if I misspeak as I am still very new to using linux but it seems that this may be a problem with pulseaudio and its interaction with alsa on startup. When I run alsa-mixer in terminal at startup the volume levels indicated match that of those displayed on the slider in the panel applet. So it seems pulseaudio is acting independent of my system settings at startup rather than dependently.
