open terminal
alsamixer
unmute and set channel volume
sudo alsactrl store

And that should work:)

Sorry typo, should be
"alsactl store" - saves the current state of sound card settings

Pulesaudio sits on top of alsa.

I get this as output:
E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/pickarooney not ours.

Not sure if that's an error message or not, but I'll see tomorrow on reboot. Cheers.

No change, but googling the error message and alsactl I found this. I was able to run the command as normal user and hopefully the settings will be restored when I restart.

fingers crossed!
