Problem With Maintaining Sound Settings In Alsa Mixer

[Jeffrey D. Yuille]

Hello,

     I am having problems with maintaining the volume settings in the 
Alsa Mixer.  I checked the /etc/modprobe.config file and I am not sure 
what sort of changes I need to make to hold the settings for sound.  In 
fact, every time I reboot the computer, the icon on the toolbar shows 
that the sound has been turned off and I have to slide the sound bar all 
the way to the "up" position to hear sound. What sort of corrections, if 
any, do I have make to the /etc/modprobe.config file in order to 
maintain my settings?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
