Comment 31 for bug 878986

thx David! Might be helpful. However, could you plz elucidate a bit more? What would I need to change? Which command(s) would do the trick? This http://askubuntu.com/questions/77522/command-to-unmute-and-maximize-volume didn't work for me; haven't tried the bash script yet, though... I've always been confused by the difference between PulseAudio & alsamixer, and am not even sure what I'm using, what's installed & enabled, etc... thx again!
