the alsa-guide on gentoo.org. muting is normal, setting the volumes to previously saved settings (like 0), too. How to change that, is explained there (or in the forums, or the mailing list, have a look into the archives). But: some soundcards are indeed not enough supported to have a working mixer. With my cm9739 based onboard sound, I have only 100 or 0% volume.. with my cm8738 based soundcard has no problems.
