## Why do my settings keep resetting?
|
||||
|
||||
The settings in the ALSA Scarlett Control Panel are automatically
|
||||
saved in the interface itself (all series except 1st Gen), so they
|
||||
“should” persist across reboots and even across different computers.
|
||||
|
||||
If you find that the opposite is happening — that every time you plug
|
||||
your interface in, the settings get reverted, try disabling the
|
||||
`alsa-state` and `alsa-restore` systemd services:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo systemctl mask alsa-state
|
||||
sudo systemctl mask alsa-restore
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These services save the state of ALSA controls on system shutdown to
|
||||
`/var/lib/alsa/asound.state` and then restore it each time the device
|
||||
is plugged in. It can be rather annoying, wondering why your device is
|
||||
unusable every time you plug it in, only to find that it’s because you
|
||||
once shut down your computer with the Clock Source set to “ADAT” or
|
||||
some such thing.
