IEC958 is the last column when using alsamixer.  I would use alsamixer
to mute IEC958 just to be sure. Gnome volume control may not have worked
for me.

I then added the following lines to my /etc/modprobe.conf:

install snd-ens1371 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ens1371 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : 

{all one line - don't split up}

remove snd-ens1371 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-ens1371 

{all one line - don't split up}

I added these lines to my modprobe.conf.  Runlevel 6 and 5 show my mixer
settings being saved and restored.  

I was having problems with changes that I had
made to my mixer getting changed back.  This seemed to fix it.  Someone
told me that FC4 didn't need the modprobe.conf lines, however I found
they made a difference. -- Bill
