Hi.  
I have big problem with my musicbox.  
How can i store my alsamixer settings.  
When i start play with initial sound on half i have wall of sound. is to loud.

To hear normal i must change volume control to far left near 0.

So can i change my alsamixer volume and store it?

On reboot all settings is lost.

Sorry for my English

Regards  
Ed

Something in [https://github.com/woutervanwijk/Pi-MusicBox/blob/master/filechanges/opt/musicbox/startup.sh](https://github.com/woutervanwijk/Pi-MusicBox/blob/master/filechanges/opt/musicbox/startup.sh) might be to blame for alsactl store not working as expected. But I’m not familiar with the startup script beyond knowing that it would be a good place to start looking.
