At almost every boot PulseAudio starts with the volume muted. The only
time this does not happen seems to be when I don't do a clean log out
(hit the reset button).

This is basically bug 525572 again, but as that problem seems to have
been solved for at least some people I'm filing it as a new bug.

Removing ~/.pulse and rebooting does not make any difference.

I'm attaching a verbose log of PA starting in a muted state.

There's boot an upstream bug:

and a bug report for Ubuntu:

I guess this is a duplicate of bug 539579.

This is on a clean install.  Deleting /.pulse folder does fix for me but another reboot and am muted and sound level to 0 again.

I think this bug is related to #556086 for alsa-utils package.
Muted sound at startup problem is circumvented by commenting out the line #352 in "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils" file from alsa-utils package.
��#mute_and_zero_levels "$TARGET_CARD" || EXITSTATUS=1
