LXQT volume at login

Volume is always set at 100% upon login It blasts audio at full volume until I set it lower. pavucontrol-qt always states volume is 100% even when the slider is at about 30%. I have these packages installed pavucontrol-qt 2.2.0-1 alsa-card-profiles 1:1.4.6-1 alsa-lib 1.2.14-1 alsa-plugins 1:1.2.12-4 alsa-topology-conf 1.2.5.1-4 alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.14-2 alsa-utils 1.2.14-1 libpulse 17.0+r43+g3e2bb8a1e-1 pipewire-pulse 1:1.4.6-1 pulse-native-provider 1:1.4.6-1 pulseaudio-alsa 1:1.2.12-4 I tried sudo alsactl store What packages should I have and also is there something I need to configure? Any fixes etc that I may have missed? -- Hindi madali ang maging ako
