I've seen this before where the Windows audio drivers reset the sound
cards volume, mute, etc., and suddenly they are working or not working
in Linux.  Perhaps this was the first time you booted into Windows and
then into linux since you had it working?   I would suggest you do an
alsactl store now so the settings you do have set will be there next
time you reboot.
