I’m having a minor issue after installing pamac-all 9.5.12.
The volume that controls the sound in system tray is turned-off by default. 
I can easily turn it on, but when you restart the computer it’s off again no matter what you do. I didn’t have this issue with the pamac-git version. Any idea as how to keep it on after a restart?
System:
Kernel: 5.4.72-1-lts x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 10.2.0
Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.20.1 Distro: Arch Linux
This tip at the Arch Wiki should fix your issue
What is pamac-all doing to disable audio? The two things should be unrelated.
Is this something to do with snapd ?
Nothing has worked so far. The volume is still off when I restart.
Did you try removing pamac-all, and any other packages it brought in as dependencies?
try this … if you have sound problem
Not yet. Should remove pamac-all and reinstall the pamac-gtk?
Why not try limiting the changes to a small number and approaching this systematically rather than to try changing everything at once?
If you think this is due to pamac-all then you can begin to narrow that down by removing that package and see if that actually makes a difference.
I tried that, but it goes back to off after a restart.
so you say it not auto mute problem?
The volume is muted when you turn on or restart the computer. I can easily turn it on, but it should be on by default.
did you save setting as root ? as detailed in that link ?
No, how do save the settings as root?
Add this script to startup:
#!/bin/bash
amixer -D pulse set Master 100%
I can’t type the command in the Autostart. I can add an application, but no place for me to type the command.
Not a KDE user myself, but this might help
That should do it!
To OP - looks like you can edit a .desktop file add in the command parameters you want (in the (Exec= line), or write a simple bash script to set it up and run it as you want. The location will be as stated in the link. Have fun!
chmod +x name-of-script
if auto mute problem …
"To save your current settings as the default options, run alsactl store as root. "

I ran the script, but I made it executable by right clicking on the script , and then > permissions > Is exectutable.
I didn’t know how to make it executable by “chmod +x name-of-script”.
Then I added to the start-up and reboot, but it didn’t work. It was still muted after a startup.
@Shjim
I don’t have the auto mute Mode on my amixer.
I also tried this command with no success.
amixer: Unable to find simple control ‘Auto-Mute Mode’,0
Also is this a Plasma 5.20 bug?
