Here is my output from the amixer command: also how do I get it so alsa stores the sound levels? I followed the wiki but nothing, the Front mixer still stays at zero which are my external speakers.

With alsactl you can store your sound level:
alsactl [options] [store|restore|init] <card # or id or device>
You must run the alsa daemon to restore your sound level.

If you're missing PCM control then you'll probably need to add the modules in /etc/rc.conf, atleast thats what worked for me when I reinstalled.

For the record, I can control PCM through alsamixer without snd_pcm in the rc.conf MODULES array...
Arch Linux + sway
Debian Testing + GNOME/sway
NetBSD 64-bit + Xfce

Maybe because I have external logitech speakers, that prob. have their own Preamp. What order do I put alsa in the rc.conf DAEMONS section? , after fam, before network? in the beginning or end? Thanks for all the help guys

I put it at the end as such:
DAEMONS=(hal network cups @alsa)
Arch Linux + sway
Debian Testing + GNOME/sway
NetBSD 64-bit + Xfce

That worked thx! Now FRONT is up all the time
