Welcome to the community.
It is not very clear to me what the issue is. I mean, I know you have an
issue with the sound volume but it is not very clear when and how this
happens. Does this happen when you log out/login or restart the OS?
Or is this happening during your user session?
I like very much pavucontrol (if you use pulse audio) and if I recall
correctly, inside the pavucontrol settings there's a way to set your sound
volumes and also LOCK them so they don't change.
cheers
