I am still struggling with this.  I have come to the conclusion that the only 
way that I personally am going to succeed with this is to edit a 
configuration file, but I cannot find what to edit to.  I have found advice 
on editing the Pulse configuration file on the net, but what I have tried has 
not helped so I have gone back to the original vanilla file.

What I need to do, it seems to me, since the n-curses alsamixer will not 
accept any alterations, is to edit a configuration file in such a way as to 
change the default. But searching for this has got me nowhere.

Any suggestions, please?

Many thanks,
