[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#557255: ALSA muted by default. PCM is also muted.

[Yaromir]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.21+dfsg-2
Severity: serious

Hello, everyone. 
I've encountered problem after i've updated from Lenny to Squeeze. I have no sound. There is something similar to bug #555053 in alsa-base package. But the difference is that in my case sound is just muted by default. In other words, when i boot my Debian, i have no sound. But after i unmute the sound via the gnome aplet, make it louder and unmute PCM channel in alsa-mixer, alsa works well. 
It is not critical, but a bit inconvenient. 
Best regards, Yaromir.
