Same here, I have 1:0.9.14-0ubuntu20.2 installed and it has my PCM at 0 volume and muted every startup.
I have found out this, though. If I have to kill my system (NOT go through the normal shutdown) the pcm volume is ok when the system comes back up. So, I must infer that whatever is doing this is doing it during shutdown.
