It's normal that you have to unmute the mixer after loading the alsa
modules, it has always been like that, but either modules.conf or
devfsd.conf probably took care of that for you before.

Here's a solution from the linux-hotplug mailing list, I haven't tried
it myself yet, but it's supposed to work:
create an executable script /etc/dev.d/snd/controlC0/alsa.dev
with this content:

#!/bin/sh -e
exec /usr/sbin/alsactl restore 0
