If that's the problem (sounds like it is), get the sound levels perfect
and run

alsactl store

as root.  Then on subsequent boots you should have volume level
perfection back every time.  If this doesn't happen, alsactl restore
will do it, and you can stick it in /etc/rc.local to force it to be
reset to perfection every boot.
