I can confirm this problem on my laptop.

In /var/lib/alsa/asound.state it looks like the mixers should be turned up.
Also the following works:
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
alsamixer -c0
#changing some levels
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils start
#everything is reset again to the level before stop like it is to be expected.
