Headphones not working on startup

Hello,
I recently installed arch. Issue happens in both plasma and gnome:
I have audio working from speakers but it doesn't work on headset (connected with 3,5 jack)

$ amixer -c 0 sget 'Headphone'
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 87
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off]
  Front Right: Playback 0 [0%] [-65.25dB] [off]

I can unmute headphones with alsamixer and then they work until next reboot. Or if I change profile from kde audio settings ( they revert to muted in alsamixer)
I already tried

sudo alsactl store

disabling automute (whatever it is)
and add a restore

sudo systemctl enable alsarestore.service

but still muted on startup (it works if i restore or start service manually)
An other script with:

#!/bin/bash
amixer -c 0 set 'Headphone' unmute
amixer -c 0 set 'Headphone' 87 unmute

Couldn't work on start up.
Maybe pipewire or something else overwrites my setting?
