I remember this problem popping up some years ago, when the "rise" of systemsd began - what a coincidence. Now I have to add some alsamixer lines with sane defaults to my /etc/rc.local that get executed in subshell with 1 minute delay, so they get applied after anything else. Once I had the great idea to save the sound settings every 10 minutes or so. Turned out to be one of the not so bright ideas, 'cause there are some programs that do bad things to sound settings and don't tell you about.
