    Using XUbuntu 9.04 sound is muted every time I boot so I have to un-mute it. I haven't found a solution yet and when I am sober I shall start looking

    Welcome to the forums, chunkz! Check for muted sound levels, as indicated above by elija.

    I've always liked sound being muted on the first boot, but after that no muting is preferred. Elija, it sounds like your current sound levels are not being stored properly. A permissions issue perhaps?

    It's those little things that can sometimes drive you nuts.

    I finally ended up using the instructions from here

    (http)://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/ubuntu-904-jaunty-keeping-the-beast-pulseaudio-at-bay/]Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty - Keeping the beast Pulseaudio at bay Tux’s idyllic life

    and now everything is as it should be. The sound is not muted every time I reboot my computer, what a joy for something to work the way it is supposed to.

    Give it a try.

    Well I didn't have to look far did I?

    That worked a treat. Thanks
