A simple workaround would be to automate the amixer command to run with a time delay after login

Create a launcher in user’s autostart folder: ~/.config/autostart/speaker-unmute.desktop with this content:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=speaker-unmute
Comment=unmute speaker 5s after login
Exec=/usr/bin/sleep 5 && /usr/bin/amixer -qc sofhdadsp sset 'Speaker' unmute
Icon=
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
