# /usr/sbin/alsactl store shouldn't this keep the settings for the speaker? In my case it doesn't
Yes, of course, that's the purpose of that command.
We'lllooks like it doesn't. I've changed the settings in /etc/asound.conf from Pulseaudio tom my hw-device and still canot save settings.
There are two things that come to my mind right now: 1) have present that some of the sound settings you can change with alsamixer depends on other settings. For example it is totally worthless to set the Master channel to it's maximum if PCM channel is muted.
unmuted
2) because you use PA (well, you use GNOME but it triggers the PA installation) it may be worth to take a look at the various PA mixers found in the official repositories and in the AUR.
haven't tried em all, yet but will continue to do so. KR Frank
