How to save alsamixer settings in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick (working after reboot)

Here is how to save alsamixer settings permanently, so that you don't need to restore them after reboot manually:

1. Open Terminal and run alsamixer. Change your settings and exit.
2. Save alsamixer settings by running
   

   sudo alsactl store 0

3. Go to System -> preferences -> Startup applications and the following
   

   sudo alsactl restore

   This will restore alsamixer settings after reboot.

I had problems with alsamixer 1.0.23 not saving Line Jack and Mic Jack settings in Ubuntu Maverick. After rebooting my computer I had to change the settings again. The above mentioned trick didn't help me to solve the problem. Do you have a better solution?
