Ubuntu muted on boot

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi all,


I did go and disable "auto mute" in alsamixer, but Ubuntu stays muted 
after rebooting, I can quickly unmute it using the media keys on my 
Keychron keyboard, but I cannot figure how to make this "muted state" at 
boot go away.


If you can help, I would really appreciate it. Some times my wife, a 
died in the wool Windows user needs something off of my Machine, and 
she's really, really technologically disabled.
