e.g. I need to enable the 'Wave' Slider but depending on your soundcard
there can be other settings (- and yes. This could be much clearer).

(saving volumes in yast should do the same)

Note that mixers like 'kmix' if enabled can also restore settings. Kmix
has a setting for this. This comes after the alsactl restore call
normaly perfomed during boot.

Another thing you can do:
For my former soundcard i used an executable Bash script in KDE's
autostart folder using the amixer command to unmute sounds. This looked
like (the commands like 'PCM' can be different per soundcard - see
/etc/asound.state):
/#!/bin/sh/
/#/
/# for my old soundcard/
/#amixer set 'VIA DXS',0 100%/
/#amixer set 'VIA DXS',1 100%/
/#amixer set 'VIA DXS',2 100%/
/#amixer set 'VIA DXS',3 100%/
amixer *set* PCM 80% unmute
amixer *set* Master 40% unmute
amixer *set* AC97 100%
amixer *set* CD 50% unmute
