You have to use alsamixer or gamix (or your favorite mixer) to unmute
the channels you are interested in and set their gains. After that do a:
  /usr/sbin/alsactl store
that will create the /etc/asound.state file (and that one will get
reloaded on a boot). At any point you can do a:
  /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
to reload the saved settings.
