ALSA audio problem (need to run alsaconf EVERY time!)

Hi there I've been messing around with Arch for a lil while now and it works great and all for me but I'm dealing with one problem that kind of ticks me off - I have to run alsaconf every time when I boot up my machine. I tried it as root, user, with sudo.. nothing.. it just resets everytime to such low levels that I have to krank my amp all the way up even with all aumix levels maxed out.. what's going on here? Does anyone have similar issues? How can I fix this?

Have you tried reading the wiki?

Solved it -- Dunno whether loading snd_pcsp last or turning up "front" on alsamixer and saving it with "alsactl store" did the trick but the settings stay put now thanx all!!

Since a few days alsa is broken, alsactl refuses to work with the message : error while loading shared libraries : /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 : invalid ELF header
