Comment 1 Diamonte 2006-10-13 01:16:48 UTC
Ok this isn't really a bug for alsa-utils but I was told to put it here...

So,... This is about sound device:

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 009f
        Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18
        Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-


...And the steps I had to take in order for it to work properly.
I was experiencing problems getting into alsamixer after i had booted.
first i unloaded alsa with the init script and reloaded them and got an error
having to do with a mixer control being invaild. so i removed the mixer settings.

rm /etc/asound.state
/etc/init.d/alsasound restart

now I can get into alsamixer and unmute it and turn the volumes up.
So i exit it seeing now the sound is working. But after a reboot, right when it hits alsa i get and error again complaining about control 11 being invaild.
So then again i removed /etc/asound.state and restarted alsa, umuted the card, 
turned the volume up and it workds again. Ok so then i edited /etc/init.d/alsasound and changed SAVE_ON_STOP="yes" to "no" then edit /etc/asound.state and took out the whole Control 11 block and saved the file. and now when i shut down the computer it doesn't save the mixer settings and screw up the new /etc/asound.state and now everytime i reboot my sound will work. Kind of a crappy fix but I guess I'll have to live with it for now.

First try with alsa 1.0.13 (need to upgrade all alsa ebuilds, not just alsa-utils). If it still doesn't work, file a bug upstream.
