I don't believe this is a bug with qastools since it simply tells alsa what to do. Also, the issue can be duplicated on alsamixer. qasmixer itself doesn't save anything, neither does alsamixer. Something somewhere isn't remembering between reboots, but it's definitely not qastools related.

On prior levels of Ubuntu (through 18.04), any settings I make are preserved over reboots. On the latest level of Ubuntu (18.10) the settings are effective only as long as the system is running. The next time I reboot, the settings are gone, and I have to use qasmixer to set them all over again. I expected the settings made by qasmixer to be preserved on the next reboot, as with past levels of Ubuntu. The settings made by qasmixer are not preserved over a reboot on Ubuntu 18.10.
