Works fine - that is, PCM slider shows the  value I had set.
However, after reboot the slider is returned to 0. 
 
And yes, I do have these lines in modprobe.conf

install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0


Any ideas?

BTW: another oddity is that volume control tool in GNOME shows two
mizers. One is identified as Intel 82801DB-ICH4 [Alsa Mixer], another as
SigmaTel STAC9750/51, Conexant i[Audio Mixer (OSS)]. I definitely only
have 1 audio card, identified by alsamixer as

Card: Intel 82801DB-ICH4  
Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750/51,Conexant id 22   

So why show 2 different mixers? And their controls are independent:
changing PCM slider in one of them does not change the PCM slider in the
other. :(
