I wouldn't think so.  /etc/init.d/alsasound should run at default
level, load modules and restore settings.  Assuming that you have run
the alsaconf command to unmute your channels, then you should have
sound straight off the peg.

However, I have an old laptop which always starts with the Master
volume control muted.  I have to press the special sound control
buttons on the keyboard to unmute sound every time I reboot.  I guess
this is a hardware quirk of this MoBo and it is the only PC that I
have come across something like this.
