Greetings jvfc678,
As one suggestion, read up on /etc/rc.local. Then ..
you can probably add aumix setting just before exit 0 to the /etc/rc.local
you already have.
First, cp /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local.orig , in case you need it sometime later,
then use sudo laumeafpad /etc/rc.local to do the editing,
and save the edited /etc/rc.local, of course.
You may probably also edit .aumixrc directly.
See man aumix.

Addendum
There is a simpler way.
Call up aumix from the Main Menu;
Make a few changes (or not) using the GUI;
Save.
This automatically creates & saves .aumixrc.
Otherwise, there is no .aumixrc unless this has been done.

I never noticed the second line got screwed up. It should have read:
then use sudo leafpad /etc/rc.local to do the editing,
My bad.
Any way, use the aumix gui approach, it's easier.

I actually tried the gui approach but... It didn't work it dosent load the sound volume, i think theres somthing wrong with my .aumixrc file when i have time i take a look at this thanks everyone. Also i liked the Reply where utu said about the rc.local thing thank you man. But you guys did understand where im going with this right? Im trying to save the sound volume everytime i reboot or shutdown the computer

If you did a save with the gui, and if your persistence is working,
Then that approach should work ok.
For the /etc/rc.local approach, FWIW, Here's the tail end of my /etc/rc.local:
Code:
amixer sset 'PCM' 100%; amixer sset 'Speaker' 100%; amixer sset 'Master' 80%
# Leave with "OK" status
exit 0

Isnt that just setting the volume to 100%? Thats not what i want. The things is: lets say i set the volume to 36, then i turn off my computer, next time i turn it back on I want it to be the same volume. Not having to go to aumix and clicking save
But thanks for the replies utu, it really helped me to find the file i wanted

You're welcome.

Actually, this setting in /etc/rc.local maxes out the Speaker and PCM,
and only establishes an initial value for Master (on my hardware).
Any subsequent adjustment of the panel volume control gui sets the value
of Master to some lesser or greater value; the changed value of volume
is retained on reboot, whatever it is.
One may use alsamixer on a command line to view all this more clearly.

I didn't even do anything and every time i start the system the volume is at a 100% i don't want that i want ALSA to save the volume automatically every time i change the volume, so when i start the system again it will be the same volume

Do you have a persistence file?
