Ed,

KDE wants to load specific mixer settings at start up.  If you just
fire up alsamixer and change it back to the way you like, then go
into the KDE control panel under Sound --> Mixer, there is a button
to save current mixer settings. There is also a check box to load
mixer settings at start up. You can probably just uncheck that box
and that way KDE won't try to mess with your settings when it starts
up. I had a similar problem on my sound card, KDE messed the
left/right balance to where I only got sound out of the right
channel. I reset my mixer to my "right" settings then clicked the
"Save Mixer" button in the control panel in KDE.

Hopefully this helps your situation.
