Sound card settings resetting on reboot [SOLVED]

[Lysander]

I have noticed than whenever I reboot my sound setting have gone back to what I assume is default. I have an X-FI Platinum music sound card and whenever I reboot I notice that the sound panel has gone back to headphone setting, sound notifications have been enabled and the sound input device has changed. Is there any way I can save the settings? Here's some info about the audio from inxi:

Code: Select all

Audio:     Card-1 Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series] 
           driver: snd_hda_intel 
           Card-2 Creative Labs SB X-Fi driver: snd_ctxfi 
           Card-3 Intel 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller 
           driver: snd_hda_intel 
           Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k3.16.0-4-amd64

What version of Debian are you using? And what software are you using to change the settings?

Sorry, I should have said. I'm on 8.7. I don't know what the software is that I'm changing the setting in, but I do it via the Sound function in Settings.

I have an update on this, it's clear that it's the default Pulse audio settings that need to be changed, since this is what Sound in the Settings menu related to. Is there any way to set them?

EDIT: solved

Code: Select all

pacmd list-cards

to get the profile/index of my sound card

then

Code: Select all

pacmd set-card-profile 2 output:analog-stereo

then added this to the end of /etc/pulse/default.pa

Code: Select all

set-card-profile 2  output:analog-stereo
set-default-sink 2

then rebooted.
