The headphones and master volume remain normal, but no sound will come from the speakers until I manually go into alsamixer and turn up the speaker's individual volume. I have an Intel integrated audio card, the 82801H HD Audio Controller.

I believe you have to use the command "alsactl store" as root. Your 
volume levels are not usually automatically saved.
