Pulseaudio - no sound at startup

Hi everyone.

I have some issue with Pulseaudio. After startup, i have no sound in my jack headset and changing volume has no effects. I need to restart pulseaudio manually with pulseaudio --kill && pulseaudio --start to temporary fix the issue but this is not convenient.

Can you help me ?

I suggest you run these commands to unmute speakers and headphones in ALSA

amixer sset 'Master' 47 unmute
amixer sset 'Headphone' 64 unmute
amixer sset 'Front' 64 unmute

and this to ensure settings are saved

sudo alsactl store
