'Twas brillig, and Robert Orzanna at 19/10/11 02:11 did gyre and gimble: > All settings, for example set with alsamixer, are discarded after reboot. Then your distro is broken. The alsa-utils packages ensures that alsa mixer values are saved on shutdown and restored at boot up. It's saved in asound.state which is kept in /var (nowadays). The latest alsa-utils even ships with systemd units to do this for you. Prior to standardisation with systemd, various different distros handled this differently so you'll have to ask your distro people about it. Ultimately tho', if you fire up an alsa mixer and make some changes, and run: "sudo alsactl store", it should wirte the file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. Similarly "sudo alsactl restore" should read that state file and apply it.
