hi,
try running 'alsactl store 0' as root.
the number 0 means the first card in the system...

if still does not work go to:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/Main_Page

and type 'restore' in the search box, it will list you lot of stuff 
worth reading.
it just helped me last week in the similar problem!

cheers,
