As a (recommended?) alternative, use alsamixer to adjust your sound
levels. The comments at the top of /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsactl recommend
adding:

post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

to /etc/modules.conf.  The second line automatically saves the current
mixer settings when the system shuts down (or the module is removed
otherwise).
