alsa is always muted
 

Since one of last updates (i think it was libvolume-id0 update) my alsa is always muted after system reboot. I have to set up the alsamixer every time i switch on my computer. 'Alsactl store' doesn't work. What's wrong with this? I use Debian Unstable.

PS. Sorry for my English.

That is odd. I would always do alsamixer and set volumes up. Then login as root and run the commnad ' alsactl store ' and then settings would be saved.

Might try to make a file in your home directory called .aumixrc. Here is mine.
vol:65:65:R
pcm:40:40:P
speaker:0:0:P
line:0:0:P
mic:0:0:P
cd:0:0:P
pcm2:0:0:P
igain:67:67:P
line1:0:0:P
dig1:100:100:P
phin:0:0:P
phout:0:0:P
video:0:0:P

Then you need to maybe load the sound with a command like this. aumix -L to load settings.

Is it necessary to install aumix? I'd rather not install this program.

Up to you, that is the way I do it. I am sure there are many other ways to do this. I would say other mixer apps would allow saving and loading of settings from a file.

You might also try whether "apt-get install --reinstall alsa-utils" helps any.

There has been a libvolume-id0 update and now everything is ok.
