Correct. The alsactl init script loads volume settings at boot time,
and, if configured to do so, saves them when you shut down the
computer. However by default the KDE sound system also restores the
volume settings when you log in, but does not automatically store them
when you log out. Because of this everytime you log in KDE loads the
wrong settings. To solve the problem, either
start kde, execute /etc/init.fd/alsactl start, open
kcontrol=>Sound=>Mixer and save the settings you want so KDE will
restore them from now on
or
open kcontrol=>Sound=>Mixer and uncheck "Load automatically" or whatever
it is called in the english version of KDE
