Just installed Mint xfce and having same problem with maintaining sound
settings. Pulse audio wiki gives this.
Pulseaudio usually overwrites the ALSA settings- for example set with
alsamixer- at start up, even when the alsa daemon is loaded. Since there
seems to be no other way to restrict this behaviour, a workaround is to
restore the alsa settings again after pulseaudio had started. Add the
following command to .xinitrc .bash_login or any other autostart file:
restore_alsa() {
while [ -z "`pidof pulseaudio`" ]; do
sleep 0.5
done
alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore
}
restore_alsa &
could not find either of these filed but appended to end of user .profile and
it works.
Would adding this to .profile programatically solve the issue

Title:
upstart task alsa-restore has no effect
Status in “alsa-utils” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
There is a upstart task 'alsa-restore' which should restore the alsa
state to the state that was saved with upstart task 'alsa-store'.
This does not work. It looks like there is some other task that
initializes alsamixer to its default state AFTER alsa-restore is run.
There is a help page which recommends running 'alsactl restore' in the users
startup applications:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook5-1/Natty
This should not be necessary if the upstart task 'alsa-restore' was
working right.
I suggest find the task that is initializing alsamixer to its default
state and eliminate this, or delay alsa-restore until the
initialization was done.
This happens in latest Natty release, but I think this problem also
exits in Oneiric because this problem exists as far as I can remember.
