Title:
  alsa-utils does not store and restore alsa settings on boot reboot

Status in alsa-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The standard run level seems to have changed from run level 2 to run
  level 5 in 16.04. /etc/init.d/alsa-utils does not have a symlink in
  rc5.d and so does not run and store and restore alsa settings on
  shutdown/boot.

  Most internal audio interfaces are set to some reasonable level by
  pulse on login. However, some (semi)pro audio interfaces like the
  ice1712 based interfaces are not controlled by pulseaudio but just fed
  audio in. This means that the user has to reset the alsa level at
  every boot.
