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.
