Hello,
I run 'alsactl restore' on a machine with 2 sound cards -- a built-in Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) and a non-built-in Yamaha Corporation YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] (rev 03) -- and get the following message:
Unknown hardware: "YMF724F" "SigmaTel STAC9700,83,84" "AC97a:83847600" "0x1073" "0x000d" Hardware is initialized using a guess method
As a consequence the volume levels of the Yamaha card do not get restored to the levels stored in /etc/asound.state. The volume levels of the built-in card however are properly restored. The asound.state file has been created by executing 'alsactl store'.
The kernel has been built with support for ALSA. I've built and installed the kernel modules for both cards (not the ones in the alsa-driver package but those that come with kernel version 2.6.30.2). Any ideas why alsactl cannot find the hardware it has previously identified as "YMF724F", "SigmaTel STAC9700,83,84", and so on?
Regards, Angel Tsankov
