I'm not sure, but I suspect RedHat 8 might be using ALSA (Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture - the up and coming sound architecture in linux).
ALSA is many great things, but one silly thing it does is have the mixer
levels down at first. (it does save levels across reboots, though)

Try alsamixer=20
