How to permanently set volume levels in KMix
Sorry for a dumb question, but I can't find an option to permanently adjust sound volumes in KMix - every time I change settings to the desired level, those revert back after every reboot. I use PulseAudio and PulseEffects, but can't find a proper option in any of the configuration files I'm familiar with.
Please give me a hint. Thanks.

Re: How to permanently set volume levels in KMix
It's up to pulseaudio to restore those. KMix does have code for this, but it should explicitly not work if you are using pulseaudio as pulse should be doing this. FWIW this might depend on which volume you are adjusting, do you touch the pulseeffects slider or the actual hardware component? With an "adjusted" volume, what's your output for
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs
pacmd list-sources
pacmd list-source-outputs
pacmd list-modulesand maybe post a screenshot of your kmix window as a link because I'm not entirely sure if you are seeing the correct device.

Re: How to permanently set volume levels in KMix
Ok and which of these is not being retained? If the pulseeffects values I somewhat expect them as they are under the control of pulseeffects (I'm fairly certain you have options here within pulseffects to define on what volumes pulseeffects should open the virtual sinks with, but I'd suspect that an adjustment on the actual card should stick, does it not?
FWIW your screenshot shows you are using plasma-pa BUT you still have kmix in there as well. I'd suggest you stop kmix (...maybe even remove the package) to ensure it doesn't try to persist conflicting information.

Re: How to permanently set volume levels in KMix
This is what I see freshly after reboot

I really don't want to get rid of KMix.
