Linux mint 20 sound issue

Have a slight issue with the Linux mint 20 . It has a issue upon start up there's no sound out of the speaker . I did the alsamixer command which indicated that the headphone
column was muted. I unmuted it sound came back but keeps muting upon
start up each time . Is there a command that would keep the headphone
column to stay unmuted so i don't keep using the alsamixer command ?

 

Several good suggestions here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/50067/howto-save-alsamixer-settings.

With MXLinux 19.3 this suggestion by John worked: (First run alsamixer as root, then (also as root) save configuration with this command:

Code:

alsactl --file /etc/asound.state store

Next I edited /etc/rc.local and added the following line just before the exit 0 line at end of file:

alsactl --file /etc/asound.state restore
