If I remember correctly, running alsamixer - allows you select certain cards, ESC exitsalsactl store - would write the setting to a file, under user it would be ~/.asoundrc (I could be wrong). But in my case "alsactl store" doesn't do anything, It opens "master" setting single bar setting.
From `man 1 alsactl`:
```
store <card>
This command saves the current driver state for the selected soundcard
to the configuration file.
[…] FILES/var/lib/alsa/asound.state (or whatever file you specify with the -f flag) is used to store current settings for your soundcards. The settings include all the usual soundcard mixer settings.
```~/.asoundrc is your hand-edited card configuration (including which one is your primary soundcard, and /var/lib/alsa/asound.state contains the mixer settings for your cards, i.e. the volume levels. The latter is written by `alsactl store` and is owned by root, so your user has nothing to do with it. It’s usually read once at startup and written at shutdown to preserve sound volume between reboots.
This is most likely not the file you want to edit, and `alsactl store` is not the command you want to run, unless I misunderstood your issue.
