They are mute again.

Let me tell something odd that is happening here that may help you (I
don't know). What has been troubling me is that, as I already told
you, when I reboot the system the master is mute and the volume is set
to 0%.

What is odd is if I close the kde session *and* restart the X11 the
mixer is not muted but the volume is set back to 0%.

I am telling you this because there may be two different causes to the behavior.

Gunther,
