Mic input volume always resets (to middle/low value) on resume or restart

[Sergey Pashinin]

Sound card: CA0106/CA0111

Each time I start PC - mic input volume resets to some "default" value.
This happens from 16.04 (maybe earlier). Now I have 17.04, still have it.

Each time I run:

1) alsamixer
2) select input device, "Line In"
3) set it to max.

(Or same actions in Ubuntu GUI)

Then (after restart or suspend) the volume goes back to some middle value (low for me).

I'm pissed off setting it back again and again. Does someone else have this problem?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same thing happens to me everytime I am on a conference call on any videochat app on/off any browser.

Hopefully this get patched soon.

Confirmed, except for me it always resets to 100%. That's far too high, I need it to be around 50% or so. Either way, the resetting is very annoying.

In my case.
