So that's the maximum

So that's not the maximum, but that's already very large.

Is the timestamp (see "stat /var/lib/alsa/asound.state") still dated the
time of your installation, and not of your fixing the sound levels?

I tried to reproduce the issue with vmware but didn't get the bug at
all, at reboot I had completely onrmal levels. Which version of vmware
are you using? Which VM profile did you tell vmware?
