Your lsmod seems ok. What is the USB device that's showing in /proc/asound/cards? I have a usb midi keyboard, but that is identified as an Evolution MK-225C. You only have to run system-config-soundcard once, which should set things up, and create an /etc/modprobe.conf file. If after making changes to alsamixer you then run system-config-soundcard again, the changes are likely to be lost, and you will be back to square one, as default. Will you post the output of /etc/modprobe.conf please. If you only have 1 soundcard, and your lsmod indicates that, the alsactl command to save alsamixers settings should be just run as. /usr/sbin/alsactl store ( no 0's 1's or anything else) When you next boot up, alsactl restore will be run, and your saved settings should be seen in alsamixer. As I've said. I use KDE, and know that KDE's Kmix default settings can interfere with the alsamixer settings on booting up. I do not use Gnome, so cannot comment if anything in Gnome is messing with alsamixer's settings. Nigel.
