This is an old problem I am suffering since kernel-2.6.32 and that is still unresolved even with 2.6.35 and alsa-utils-1.0.23: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg31422.html
If you follow the thread, it got stalled in: http://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg31433.html
In summary, I get the following: # alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore /dev/snd/controlC0 Unknown hardware: "VIA8237" "Realtek ALC658D" "AC97a:414c4781" "0x147b" "0x1415" Hardware is initialized using a guess method # echo $? 99
This is no error. It means that alsactl has no special workaround for your hardware. The return code of alsactl looks strange. I thought Jaroslav has already fixed it, though...

As you can see, the exit code was solved, but I don't know why my hardware is still shown as "Unknown" even if via82xx.c clearly has some lines for my device: SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x147b, 0x1415, "ABIT AV8", VIA_DXS_NO_VRA),
why "alsactl init" does not select "Mic" as "Capture Source" for AC97 codec ?
it seem "alsactl init" does not set "Mic Boost" too
