I work with sound in Ubuntu 14.04. And I can't save the desired settings of Alsamixer. I tried the command sudo alsactl store 0, but it has not helped. Alsamixer settings changed after reboot or after connect/disconnect line-in device or a microphone. How correctly save the settings?

While sudo alsactl store 0
stores the settings for card 0 you have to issue a sudo alsactl restore 0
to restore those saved settings. If you leave the card number off all cards will be affected.
Source: and further information man alsactl

Can I save the settings without the need for alsactl restore command? Feb 9, 2015 at 14:51

You can save them, but if you want them back restoring is a normal process. You may wish to experiment with other settings mentioned in 'man alsactl', You could also create a startup script that runs the restore for you at every boot. Feb 9, 2015 at 14:55
