Yes, I changed back
chown user:user /run/user/1000
I run:
chmod o+w /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
but still can not save setting, running "alsamixer" as user will
I can select correct sound card but pressing escape does not preserve the changes.
Besides in message log I see:

data. pulseaudio[28829]: [autospawn] lock-autospawn.c: Cannot access autospawn lock.
