To combat the problem of volume going back to zero at reboot I've managed to make a command which works fine manually. I'd like this to run automatically at boot as a workaround to the mixer problem. Can someone please advise me where to put the command so that it runs at startup?
This command sets the volume to full up........
amixer set Master 64+
and this one unmutes.....
amixer set Master toggle
Where to put them for running at boot?

First, create the script. Open a sudo version of our editor, such as leafpad, with the command gksudo leafpad.
Then, your file will look something like this:
#!/bin/sh
amixer set Master 64+
amixer set Master toggle
Save this file somewhere it will -never- be moved, I reccomend /usr/loca/share, call it something like boot.sh
then type sudo chmod +x /usr/local/share/boot.sh
then, create a new file, and save it in the /home/
Now, name this file boot.desktop (or whatever, the .desktop part only matters), and make it something like:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Audiofix
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/local/share/boot.sh
Icon=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=false
Hidden=false
GenericName=
GenericName[en_US]=
Save, reboot.
Mission Accomplished, assuming you use XFCE.

hello all. I am also having problems aswell with my volume at zero and muted at boot. I got as far as having the small 3 line script of;
#!/bin/sh
amixer set Master 64+
amixer set Master toggle
created in leafpad which i needed to get first and i have it moved to; /home/

I HIGHLY recommend using this tutorial: https://kuki.me/forum/topic.php?id=231#post-1515
this will have the same effect, but you won't need to create a script.
Volume UP doesn't seem to work, i'll make a seperate topic for that one
