I have sound from the speakers, but every time I connect the headphones I have to go into alsamixer, select the audio card and turn up the speakers volume to get sound.
Can you help me so I don’t have to do this every time?
Would it be correct to assume this is the same hardware as shown in a previous post ?
(MSI GE75 Raider 8RE motherboard with ALC1220 onboard audio)
ALSA settings are usually saved to system file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and restored when system is booted. alsamixer needs root access to write any changes for these settings
Use this command to show playback controls for onboard audio card
sudo alsamixer --card=0
Check Auto-Mute Mode is set to Disabled so the speaker output is not muted when headphones are plugged in
Adjust levels for Speaker and Headphone outputs if needed
Use Esc to exit alsamixer and reboot to check if ALSA settings persist
Unfortunately, when the system was restarted, the parameters were not maintained.
Any other advice?
Open alsamixer --card=0 without sudo and use this command to see if saved settings are restored
sudo alsactl restore
If settings are not restored correctly, adjust settings in alsamixer and use this command to save settings
sudo alsactl store
Reboot system and check if settings are restored correctly
If that does not work as expected, please post more information:
amixer -c0
systemctl -l --no-pager status alsa-restore.service
No success after trying to restore Alsa mixer or save the settings.
amixer -c0

systemctl -l -no-pager status alsa-restore.service
Failed to parse lines 'o-pager'
To unmute and set level for mixer control Speaker:
amixer --card=0 sset 'Speaker' 100% unmute
I also suggest muting mixer control IEC958 Default PCM
amixer --card=0 sset 'IEC958 Default PCM' mute
There was a typo in systemctl command, should be 2 dashes for --no-pager option
If the above does not work maybe this is of interest:
I had the same issue with a MSI GE73 Raider and this finally fixed my issue after several months of anger and despair.

Sorry, it doesn’t work either
I cannot find modprobe.conf on my system.
In the /etc/modprobe.d folder is mhwd-gpu.conf.
You just have to create a new modprobe.conf file in that folder with e.g. nano editor, containing:
options snd_hda_intel model=lenovo-y530
save, and then reboot your system.
