sound levels reset to 0 on reboot

I have an Asus K8V Deluxe running 9.1 (32bit), Alsa 1.0.5. Suse
identifies the sound card as a A7600 motherboard with an ADI AD1980
sound card. Sound works great but everytime the system is rebooted the
VIA DXS levels are reset to 0. If I set the levels in YAST to 100
everything works until I reboot and the VIA DXS levels go back to 0.
gamix shows the levels as 0 and once I open the sound module in YAST the
levels in gamix for VIA DXS jump to 100 and sound works. Where are the
default levels stored that are read on boot up. I have grep'ed but
haven't found it yet.

 

 

Thanks,
