FWIW "some .conf file" means you could name it as you want, a common used name is "alsa-base.conf".

[Alsa-user] alsactl sometimes fails to restore mixer settings at boot
Hello. On a Gentoo systemd system, with alsa-restore.service enabled, alsactl sometimes fails to restore the mixer settings at system boot. Failure rate is about 50/50. Half the time it restores correctly, half the time it does nothing. However, even when it fails, systemd thinks it succeeded: # systemctl status alsa-restore.service ● alsa-restore.service - Save/Restore Sound Card State Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service; static; vendor preset: disabled) Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service.d └─override.conf Active: active (exited) since Mon 2018-01-29 11:16:28 EET; 10min ago Process: 204 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/alsactl restore (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 204 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Jan 29 11:16:25 gentoopc systemd[1]: Starting Save/Restore Sound Card State... Jan 29 11:16:28 gentoopc systemd[1]: Started Save/Restore Sound Card State. However, the error can be seen in the logs: systemd[1]: Started Save/Restore Sound Card State. systemd[1]: Reached target Sound Card. systemd[1]: Startup finished in 1.876s (kernel) + 10.341s (userspace) = 12.218s. systemd-udevd[151]: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 1' failed with exit code 99. ystemd-udevd[149]: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0' failed with exit code 99. (The "1" in the logs is a USB microphone.) This only happens at boot. Once I log in to the system, this command *never* fails: # alsactl restore My sound card is a Xonar D1, using the Virtuso driver (CONFIG_SND_VIRTUOSO) build-in into the kernel (not a kernel module.) This is not a recent problem. It's been happening forever. However, only with systemd. With OpenRC, it was always working fine.
