Try the following:

$ alsamixer -c0
then
$  pavucontrol 

after adjusting those to your preference save your settings with
$ su -c '/sbin/alsactl store'

put in your password and settings should be saved for next reboot, ***unless*** an update(s) breaks your configuration and let us hope that those things don't happen :)
