pulseaudio defaults to mute at startup

I am not sure why but pulseaudio is always muted at startup. Any way to get the default changed to "unmuted"?

I'm not sure why it does that but it's really annoying. I can get around it by only suspending/hibernating. Googling a bit more i found a few suggestions:

or

give it a try and let me know if it works. I'll push out an update if it does...

forgot to add that the default is muted on both production hardware and VM.

The first option works on my VM with restart or shutdown/powerup. I did have to modify the instructions as the line they said to edit out (I commented it out) was actually at line 372 vice 378 or 379.
