I'd suggest configuring alsa through alsamixergui (emerge alsamixergui) and using aumix or something similar to keep track of your volume settings (emerge aumix, rc-update add aumix default).

KDE loads its settings by default, to turn this off do:
Settings -> Control center -> sound and multimedia -> mixer, then uncheck 'load volumes on login'.

Regarding alsamixergui, check ADC and DAC to make sure they're both maxed out (or whatever works for you....that's usually where I have my problems as KDE likes to mute half of DAC). Good luck!
