So I can't use alsactl and amixer to restore levels from the command line?
amixer does not show any level controls either.

Do you know why there are no PCMs listed?

I wondered if it was a firmware problem, though all the messages in the
groups about that are quite old and I have a recent alsa driver. It's not
obvious what the current supported firmware version is. I can find 104 and
106 on the RME website, but nothing older.

Thanks,
