[LAD] No sound after login

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 -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
