Oh, that's a little embarrassing. alsactl init solved this - as did deleting /var/lib/alsa/asound.state to get rid of whatever customizations we had before. Still, I don't recall doing this myself (especially not running alsactl store after doing it), so I wonder if it's an upgrade issue?
** Summary changed: - [AV200 - Xonar DS, playback] Input monitors are incorrectly turned on by default + [AV200 - Xonar DS, playback] Input monitors are incorrectly turned on ** Description changed: The Analog Input Monitor and Digital Input Monitor for the Xonar DS are - both unmuted when Ubuntu starts. After I mute them in alsamixer, they - are unmuted again when I restart the system. This results in completely - messed up and horrible audio until I disable those two input monitors. - Instead, these should both be muted. They were both muted in Ubuntu - 12.10, so this is a regression. + both unmuted when Ubuntu starts. This results in completely messed up + and horrible audio until I disable those two input monitors.
