Very quiet sound on 100% (sometimes...)

Hi there.
I have a very strange problem which I can't reproduce on purpose.
Sometimes the sound simply gets quit. Its still there but its quieter. E.g. I need to set kmix volume to 100% to hear the same as before with 50%.
I use a Audigy 2 ZS with a Teufel Magnum E PE where I can manually configure volume too, but I did not do that (!).

I can't really tell you when it happens and when it switches back. Mostly I start a song in amarok and have to turn down volume because its really loud. Then I know its back to normal. From one second to another it can become quiet again, but maybe days later. I just have no idea what causes that strange problem.

Once again: The volume changes without me manipulating kmix or the speakers. Also the volume bars are not changed automatically by some programm / script. They stay the same. Very annoying.

Maybe someone can give me a hint? Maybe a log file which I could read directly after sound volume changes?

No, I did not. But afaik it only selects and loads the drivers? They are in rc.conf and were recognized at arch install.
Well I tried it, and now the volume is back to normal... But I can't say if its because of alsaconf. I doubt it... But I'll see.
