It was considered better to have sound muted as default than to risk hurting speakers or ears. (Anecdote: I had a laptop whose default mixer levels under OSS were so loud, that the builtin microphone recorded ever ambience sound and played it back again at ever bootup which resulted in loud feedback until aumix was called to set decent mixer levels.)
