Each time I reboot/shutdown my volume levels are not saved. I am using XFCE desktop environment and don't know where to look to fix this issue...
Has anybody already experienced it?

add alsa to your daemons in /etc/rc.conf

You should first ask: do you have alsa in your daemons?
Because I have.

Wonderful. Anything else one should first ask you haven't told us?

Weak what? What festival is this? Can you please all focus on Arch Linux problems instead? Otherwise I'd be posting elsewhere

Easy, my dear fellows... Easy. The subject problem does exist.

Yes and I can't really understand the reason...perhaps the alsa daemon fails at shutting down or at saving the values?
Llama do you also have alsa enabled as a daemon, do you?

If I manually start/stop the ALSA daemon the volume levels are successfully restored, so it is not a problem of the ALSA init script

did you try the solution listed in the wiki:
Run alsactl store once to create /etc/asound.state.
# alsactl store
Edit /etc/rc.conf and add "alsa" to the list of daemons to start on boot-up. This will store the mixer settings on every shutdown and restore them when you boot.
If the mixer settings are not loaded on boot-up, add the following line to /etc/rc.local:
# alsactl restore
These methods still may not work, or you may prefer to have audio settings for individual users. In this case, run alsactl store -f ~/.asoundrc as a normal user. This will save and restore volume settings on a per user basis. To automate this process, add the respective commands to ~/.bash_login and ~/.bash_logout, or the correct locations for the shell of your choice.
For zsh, use ~/.zlogin and ~/.zlogout.

mmm... well this should definitely work, but some times ago (like a month) it was doing it without this. Perhaps an upgrade or something screwed up the config file?

Now wait a second! It's not alsa, it's gnome volume applet that doesn't store the volume on exit!
Sorry for flooding... ;-)

I don't have GNOME.
However it appears to work recently. I also tried Cape's suggested approach
