Since alsa-user is rather ... errr ... silent, I dare to repost the same question here.
I've seen that Alsa likes the Terratec cards, however since they're also based on the CMI chipset, and at least /my/ onboard CMI chipset here sucks badly I wonder what low cost card I can use?
I hope somebody can give me a clue, *t
PS: Mic input is barely loud enough with my onboard sound. Mic boost has no effect.

The following is my problem:
$ alsactl -f .alsavoip restore No state is present for card CMI8738
I see this "sometimes". Sometimes the above works and sometimes it returns with that error message.
It needs to be noted that I am suspending to ram. Nevertheless, the behaveour is not consistent in between "s2ram"s and I don't know whether that has anything to do with it either.
It also needs to be noted that alsamixer *never* has any problems accessing the card. But even after changing the card settings with alsamixer, alsactl will keep on repeating that error message.
* $ lspci 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10)
* alsa userspace is at 1.0.13 * kernel is Debian's 2.6.18-4-686
Further, minor problems:
* After waking up from suspend the card looses its microphone settings - that is - "Mic Capture" is allway reset to zero.
* Further on the choice to hide the microphone setting "Mic Capture" in alsamixer behind F5 irritates me a bit - there are *a lot* of very obscure settings (such as "IEC958 5V" - huh?), that are displayed by default.
What's up with that error above? What does it mean? Is there any way I can fix or circumvent it? Anybody a hint? *t
