This has been a PIMA here for a couple years,

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.
/etc/xdg/autostart/
or
~/.config/autostart/
Build a desktop file that has alsactl restore as it's command.
There will probably be examples in one of the above directories.
The question I have is what distro are you using that doesn't do this on
it's own already? (I am not sure what mine does to restore sound, I just
know it does)
It occures to me PA may be the thing that does this... and removing PA for
proaudio work is common.
