I can also confirm this issue both on a desktop with a quad core, and a MacBook Pro 4,1 with a Core2 Duo CPU.

Could everybody with this issue try the following for me:

1. If you have the above line commented, please uncomment it.
2. In your logins ession, set up the volume to your satisfaction.
3. Log out of your session, don't restart or shut down, log out.
4. Restart your system.
5. Log back into your session.

If you still have sound volumes set correctly, then this confirms what I am seeing, where pulse seems to get messed up on restart, but if you log out of your session and then restart from the login screen, things seem to be ok.

If you can confirm the above, please follow the procedure outlined here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log and leave pulseaudio running in a terminal. Restart your system from within your session, and confirm that your audio is muted on next login. Attach the log to this bug, so we can see whether everyone gets the same behavior from pulse when you restart.

Thanks for your help in debugging this.
