[LAD] No sound after login

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

This has been a PIMA here for a couple years, surviving at least one full 
fresh install to a new HD.

I hear a very strong thump during the bootup at about the time the 
modules are loaded, which tells me the audio is alive and well.

However, when I have initially logged in and the system is ready to be 
used for whatever my urges want to, if I want to hear the sound on a web 
site as a news story is played, I must first call up a terminal and 
issue:

alsactl restore

Now it seems to me there ought to be someplace in the junk that runs 
after the login, to put a "/usr/sbin/alsactl restore", where it will be 
executed as me, and this problem then should be fixed, at least until a 
new install is done.

The question is where?

Thank you.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
