No idea. Do you have an mpu401 sound card? If not remove those lines-- or
just put a # at the beginning of them.

This says-- when the system tries to install snd-card-0, install the module
snd-intel8x0.

This says "when you remove the modules snd-intel8x0, instead run this
little script which saves the soundcard settings.

This says you have a second sound card which is a snd-mpu401. YOu may be
trying to affect the volume on the wrong card.

I think you have to get your sound cards straight first.
You have two options, alsamixer -c 0
and alsamixer -c 1
Maybe youshould try both to see which one controls the volume of the sound
you get.
