For some reason , even though I have alsa in my daemons, and do "alsactl store" the sound levels still are not saved.
Any ideas?
THANK YOU

Did you add your user to the audio group? Did you run 'alsactl store' as root?
Offline
as root yes

Maybe this won't help at all, but have you done a
sudo alsaconf
?

Assuming you're running kde........
If you have the options ticked , apply settings on start up and allow tray applications in your desktop configuration along with kmix in your panel, then alsactl store is being over ridden.

I am running gnome (sorry KDE = blah for me) Any tips?

N/P's.
Everyones tastes are different and it's all linux under the hood.
Can't help with Gnome.
Been way to long since I've ran it but I'm sure there are other Gnome users here who may have a clue.
Luck to you.

In /etc/conf.d/alsa, is there SAVE_VOLUME set to "yes"?
The volume settings should be stored in /etc/asound.state. Does this file exist? Does it look sound?
Mine currently looks like this:

add the following to /etc/rc.local
alsactl restore

Is this really necessary? It should be done at boot time by the /etc/rc.d/alsa daemon by default.

That is how I fixed my alsa issues. In fact, I removed alsa from the daemons list in rc.conf entirely. When it was left in, I was receiving a boot time error that alsa could not find my sound card, and yet sound worked normally, so long as I unmuted the card, and then had to reset all volume settings each and every boot.
This is a KISS solution IMHO

Somehow it got fixed by going into alsamixer and setting them, then running alsactl store.
IDK what I did, but I think its fine now @.@

Did you add your user to the audio group? Did you run 'alsactl store' as root?
In case anyone else is searching for the answer to this problem and found this page, as I did.
Adding my user account to the "audio" group was the solution.
Edit: Problem is still happening.
