Sound settings not remembered after reboot

This was something dumb that I did late in 2011. Thanks to broomdodger for bringing this to my attention. Fixed.

if you go here and do an anonymous login, you can download the latest /etc/init.d/10alsa:

testing asound.state

The issue is not there. The file /etc/asound.state should be created at initial only when the audio setup succeeded, and be checked before saving. Otherwise, asound.state is always broken once audio setup failed and no chance to recover unless manually run the alsaconf. From line 60- [quote]set Playback 100% unmute set "SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack" off set "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" off set Speaker 75 % unmute EOF [b][ $? -eq 0 ] && alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store # shinobar[/b] else alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore #from /etc/asound.state. fi[/quote]

"shinobar, Yes, much better solution! I have put that into Woof.

"This line was provided by pemasu: [i]set Speaker 75 % unmute [/i] But, shouldn't it be like the others: [i]set Speaker 75% unmute [/i]
