Ah, yup. MDK 9.1 here. Sound by default (with my SB 5.1 card) was always set to 0. In fact, *all* levels were set to 0, and I had to reset them with kmix (/usr/bin/kmix) after _every_ re-boot. A real PITA until I discovered aumix (/usr/bin/aumix). Now my levels are set and they stay set across re-boots. urpmi aumix -- recommended.
