Hi there.

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 - and latest ALSA.

After restart amixer defaults to default settings.

I am not really sure if this is Ubuntu/Debian specific or an Alsa issue.

The former. They must patch the code. The default path is hard-coded as /etc/asound.state.

It seems that either a link /var/lib/alsa/asound.state to /etc/asound.state is needed or that /etc/init.d/alsa-utils needs to be updated within the restore section accordingly.

With the link workaround I managed to get it working.
