In order to ensure that your sound volumes are restored you will need to have
a /etc/modprobe.conf file with content similar to this:

alias eth0 8139too
alias snd-card-0 snd-ens1371
install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias sound_slot_1 off
alias char-major-195* nvidia

Substitute your sound card for my sdn-ens1371 if it's different. Only make 
changes in the section containing your sound card. The /etc/modprobe.conf file
for your system will most likely be different than mine.

Hope this helps.
