Isn't this a race between pulseaudio quitting, and alsa-utils muting the output to prepare for shutdown? Can we fix this by changing /etc/init /alsa-mixer-save.conf
from start on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] to something like: start on (starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06]) and (there is no pulseaudio process left) ...however you write that in upstart, if it's even possible? I e, start when both conditions are fulfilled. Optionally keep it as it is, then wait for pulseaudio to be killed before continuing. -- [Maverick] Sound is always muted on startup; unmuting makes the volume at lowest level https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592016 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
