Hmm, I think this line found in pulseverbose.log is part of the puzzle: D: alsa-mixer.c: Some paths of the device lack hardware volume control, disabling hardware control altogether.
As a workaround, you might try to edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa- mixer/paths/analog-output.conf Change this: [Element Speaker] switch = mute volume = off To this: [Element Speaker] switch = mute volume = merge Restart PulseAudio afterwards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661885 Title: After booting all sound is loud until the volume slider is slightly moved then sound works like normal until rebooting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
