I added these lines to my modprobe.conf. Runlevel 6 and 5 show my mixer
settings being saved. I was having problems with changes that I had
made to my mixer getting changed back. This seemed to fix it.
I use FC4.
Someone else sent me similar lines for an intel sound card. You can
check on the list. So I think it can help if your losing your settings
and it probably won't hurt.
