What entries do you have in /etc/modprobe.conf and dmesg regarding
your soundcard?

I'd also check that you do not have a bad (i.e. muted or deselected
outputs) in a /etc/asound.state file that is getting reloaded via
modprobe.conf at each reboot. I have seen this in the past and to get
around it, you can either alter/remove the lines from modprobe.conf,
or can save a known good asound.state and then load that via alsactl
in your rc.local file.
