You may want to try running "alsactl store" atleast once as this will
create "/etc/asound.state", or "/etc/asound.conf" depending on the
distro, if one does not already exist. This is necessary for
restoring alsa mixer setting on reboot.

Though if your problem is with the kernel module and not alsa mixer
levels. Then you should check that the correct kerenel module is
listed in "/etc/modules.conf" (though in Debian alsaconf should
automatically add it), if you have not already compiled it into your
custom kernel.
