This is a known bug. It is reported in bugster as CR #6606096.

If you are using build 115 or later, which uses OSS, then you can do
the following:
1) Set the audio settings as you would like them to be on reboot.
2) Run
$ mixerctrl -s (filename)
3) Then make sure that your system runs the following command when it
boots up, or when your user session starts up:
$ mixerctrl -r (filename)
For example, you could put this command in your user's $HOME/.profile
if you want it to reload the settings for just your user. Or, if you
want it to load the settings for all users, you could put it in the
GDM Init or PreSession script. Info about the GDM scripts is here:
http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.28/configuration.html.en#scripting
If you wanted to save the settings on each user logout and reload them
on each user login, then I would recommend running the "mixerctrl -s"
command in the GDM PostSession script and the "mixerctrl -r" in the
GDM PreSession script.
Hope this helps,
Brian
