I don't see any way how to adjust PCM which by default is set to 100 by pulseaudio. Hence, I must use alsamixer to reduce the distortions caused by the high PCM. >Then your distro is broken. Following Maartens response it is not, and overwriting alsa settings is a normal behaviour of pulse. >The alsa-utils packages ensures that alsa mixer values are saved on >shutdown and restored at boot up.

But this is only a workaround since it is obviously not indented to overwrite pulse settings.
