Stephen & Stan,
It's actually a problem with kdemultimedia3-mixer! Each time you boot back into KDE, it overwrites your settings with the defaults. Remove the kdemultimedia3-mixer with YaST2 or rpm -e, remove /etc/asound.state file. Reset your sound settings with KAmix and do alsactl store to recreate the asound.state. All should be well then. I posted this the other day in another mail, but will go thru the steps again. This is also covered in the SuSE database too.
1. Remove kdemultimedia3-mixer (this has kmix and causes KDE to rewrite the default sound settings each time you start KDE) 2. Quit kamix (answer Yes to restart with KDE) 3. open a shell/konsole 4. su to root, password 5. rcalsasound stop 6. rm /etc/asound.state 7. rcalsasound start 8. alsactl store (this recreates the asound.state file) 9. Start kamix from the menu>Multimedia>Volume Control 10. Now set your volumes

I have kdemultimedia3-mixer v3.2.2-6 installed. My method works for me and my default settings aren't overwritten - except when I install a KDE upgrade (3.3 next?) or an ALSA update or a newer version of SUSE. Stan
