Description Tom Kiermaier 2004-03-29 14:57:54 UTC 
Bug #43111 was marked as resolved but it never really was for me. Even with udev 023-r1 I will get an error on boot from alsactl. The mixer settings don't get properly restored. I had to put a sleep 3 in the alsasound script before it tries restoring the mixer. This isn't really an ideal fix..

Comment 1 Tom Kiermaier 2004-03-29 15:41:42 UTC 
I just installed the separate alsa-driver package instead of using version of alsa that comes with the kernel. It works fine now. I guess the one in the kernel is old and the newer version fixed whatever was causing this.
Comment 2 Tom Kiermaier 2004-03-29 15:53:27 UTC 
Ok I rebooted again and the problem showed up again... This is really annoying.
Comment 3 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-29 16:05:02 UTC 
The alsa scripts need to wait until the /dev nodes show up.  A generic "sleep 3" might not catch them all of the times.

This is not a udev bug.  It is an alsa bug, sorry.
