Ok, I looked again what volume meters are muted default when I booted 
with Ubuntu 10.04.3 live CD.
I only doed following:
1. After the desktop presented my screen, I opened GNOME Terminal, and 
ran amixer >sound1.txt command to store original mixer values with a 
text file.
2. I launch Sound preference tool, and uncheck only the mute check box, 
not increased volume meters.
3. I ran again with amixer >sound2.txt command to generate new changed 
volume meters with an another text file.
4. I ran diff -u sound1.txt sound2.txt command to generate a diff style 
output what volume meters status are changed from off to on after I 
unchecked the mute checkbox in Sound preference tool.

I attaching the sound1.txt, sound2.txt, and 
sound-volumes-differences.txt files.
To easyest your work, I copyed diff output:

After I done this three file generation, I reboot with live CD, and look 
in terminal what volume meter status change resulting sound turning on 
this sound card resulting I hear sound again.
When I ran amixer set 'LFE',0 on command, I hear sound again, because my 
machine only have connected two speakers.

I experienced very similar issues with an other machine with Ubuntu 
10.04.3 live CD, with an Intel N10 soundcard related, see Bug 867287 
bugreport with following link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862287

With the Intel N10 sound card related little different volume meters are 
muted by default, but amixer set 'LFE',0 on command result sound turning 
on too if two speakers are connected this other sound card.
I try making a patch with merging this two bugreport fix with one patch. 
When I done this fix, generating a custom live CD and testing two 
machines the patch.
I attaching future this bugreport the patch, or the other bugreport? 
What type fix you are accept future?
