Are you su'ing to root before running the alsactl command? Something else that comes to mind is if you are running KDE desktop. Kmix is notorious for messing with alsamixers settings when you login. You boot up, and alsamixer is setup via alsactl restore, using your stored settings, then when you login, Kmix changes the alsamixer settings to whatever were the default settings for Kmix when you installed F10, with KDE. If you are using KDE, have a look in Kmix's Settings > Configure KMix, and if there is a box there named Restore volumes on login, and it is checked, try unchecking it, then see if your changes you made in alsamixer are restored correctly when you next reboot, and login. The above is just a thought, but worth a look if you are using KDE.
