If the mixer controls changed between those versions, then alsactl will
be unable to completely restore the mixer state.

Otherwise the problem is with your userspace tools.  I think KDE likes
to save/restore mixer settings on its own and its ALSA support is
horribly buggy.

It would help if you determine what app is saving/restoring the mixer
settings.

This is from my /etc/init.d/halt (FC5)
if [ $? = 0 -a -x /usr/sbin/alsactl ]; then
  runcmd $"Saving mixer settings" alsactl store
fi

but this is KDE problem :).
