/etc/init.d/alsasound fails to restore the four VIA DXS mixer levels on a reboot. All the other mixer levels are restored correctly. So every time I reboot I need to run alsamixer to restore the VIA DXS levels manually. After that using aplay works. This problem does not occur if I do /etc/init.d/alsasound restart. Other than this problem alsa seems to be working fine. The contents of /etc/asound.state seem to be correct so it seems like it is a restoring problem and not a saving problem. mobo: Abit KV7 northbridge: VIA KT600 southbridge: VIA VT8237 I am using the motherboard audio and alsa drivers from the gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7-r11 kernel compiled as modules. relevant output of lspci -v ----------------------------- 0000:00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
