»Q«: >I want sound muted on boot, but it always starts unmuted.
Then you have to mute after boot and to take care, that the change is saved and restored on booting. Hence SAVE_ON_STOP="yes" RESTORE_ON_START="yes" If you do not want that later changes be saved, switch afterwards to SAVE_ON_STOP="no" 'Afterwards' can be after 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart', spares one boot. Convenient for lazy ones. :) On my machine i always want, that changes done with alsamixer survive the next boot, therefore i have "yes" for both permanently.
