Hi, when i turn on the pc, volume is always muted.
So I have to open alsa mixer and then I have to increase HEADPHONES volume even if no headphone are plugged in.
If I plug in some headphones or external speaker there is no problems because pc speaker volume is not muted.
So the headphone channel and pc speaker are inverted.
how can i fix?
if there is no fix, is there a way to automatically unmute headphone volume at boot?

First guess: Run alsamixer. See if a category called "Auto-Mute Mode" is enabled. If it is, use the arrow keys to navigate to it and press down arrow to disable. Your sound should no longer be muted at boot.
If that doesn't work, I need more information. Post the output of the following command:
amixer

That's the virtual pulseaudio mixer, quite useless for debugging most of these hardware related issues, use
amixer -c0 #Or whatever the correct card index is, check aplay -l

I used that command. Previously I set Headphone volume up to listen some music so here is the output:

I don't know how to unmute at boot headphone volume. Even if the best solution should be to let the system recognize correctly the channel (why speaker and headphone are inverted?)

Your hardware has that "Auto Mute Mode" thing that was mentioned. Select that setting in alsamixer and change it to "Disabled".
When you start alsamixer, you probably first see just a volume control and nothing else. At that point, press the F6 key to switch devices to your motherboard's hardware and then you will find that "Auto Mute Mode" setting.

Yes, I have always to select sound card by tapping F6. I already set unmute to disabled but at boot Headphone volume is muted.
