Hi, I just backported Debian unstable ALSA packages to my stable system. Current ALSA version packaged in the unstable branch is 0.9.4.
The script /etc/init.d/alsa includes calling alsactl store on stopping and alsactl restore on starting, so mixer settings are saved between sessions. However, this is hopelessly failing: # alsactl store # alsactl restore alsactl: set_control:962: Cannot write control '2:0:0:CD Playback Switch:0' : Invalid argument Even if I delete /etc/asound.state and try again, the asound.state file created by alsactl store is not accepted by alsactl restore. Am I doing something wrong? My soundcard is one of those Neomagic MagicMedia 256ZX included in some Dell Latitude laptops. Entries for ALSA in my /etc/modules.conf (in Debian, they are taken from /etc/alsa/modutils/0.9) are as follows: alias char-major-116 snd alias char-major-14 soundcore options snd major=116 cards_limit=4 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias snd-card-0 snd-nm256 alias snd-card-1 snd-virmidi alias snd-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-slot-0 snd-slot-0 alias snd-slot-1 snd-card-1 alias sound-slot-1 snd-slot-1 By the way, Debian creates the options snd line as follows: options snd major=116 cards_limit=4 device_mode=0660 device_gid=29 device_uid=0 I had to take rid of those device_mode, device_gid and device_uid parameters manually, as I read in an email by Takashi Iwai that they are no longer supported: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg07535.html Any feedback will be very useful for me, so thanks in advance.
