Dont forget to set the pcm volume too (aumix -v 100 -w 100).

I used to have something like 
	post-install es1370 /usr/local/bin/aumix -v 90 -w 100 -c 100 -l 100
now I use
	post-install snd-audiopci1370 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
	pre-remove snd-audiopci1370 /usr/sbin/alsactl store

This way if ur sound driver gets unloaded the volume is saved (I think the
pre-remove option only works on 2.2 kernels though).

If that does not work, sorry...
