I suspect this is because the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils init script is not
being called on startup. 



This can be determined using:



ls /etc/rcS.d/*alsa-utils*



If nothing is returned then my suspicion is correct and you can use the
below to fix it:



sudo ln -s ../init.d/alsa-utils /etc/rcS.d/S50alsa-utils
