ALSA settings

[Coacharnold]

So I've been fighting with the Web Server but having a blast with LMS and the new (to me) Material THeme on LMS.     Everything is working brilliantly feeding various players across my system.  My Main issue for the time being is that my ALSA settings are stuck at 50% on the machine running my snakeoil server.  WHenever I mess with it, either through an amixer command or from alsa mixer,  the volume increases for about 5 secs and then resets itself to 50%

I assume I can adjust this from the REST Server interface,  but for the time being, without it,  I'm stuck at 50% on this machine.

Where is this particular default for ALSA set that it's overriding my amixer command and alsamixer?


THanks
