Every application where uses microphone (Discord, Google Hangouts, Microsoft Teams, etc.) changes the current settings of alsamixer without your permission. Example:

The alsactl.sh script listens alsactl monitor events. When an event is trigger, it means something tried to change the configuration and this script runs automatically alsactl restore to return the custom configuration.
