Hey there. I have a fix for your problem. Once you have the mixer setting you want, run the following as root: touch /etc/asound.conf /usr/sbin/alsactl store Now, whenever you want your old settings back, type: /usr/sbin/alsactl restore And, to make this automated, add the following lines to your /etc/modules.conf: post-install snd-mixer /usr/sbin/alsactl restore post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore post-install snd-card-1 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore post-install snd-card-via686a /usr/sbin/alsactl restore Hope this helps! -- Asheesh.
