alsa-project/alsa-utils issue #175 was opened from rnhmjoj:

It seems the udev rule to restore card settings is always failing during the boot: ``` $ journalctl -u systemd-udevd -b -o cat --grep alsa controlC2: Process '/sbin/alsactl restore 2' failed with exit code 99. controlC2: Process '/sbin/alsactl restore 2' failed with exit code 99. controlC1: Process '/sbin/alsactl restore 1' failed with exit code 99. controlC0: Process '/sbin/alsactl restore 0' failed with exit code 99. ``` I checked and made sure the file system is mounted and /var/lib/asound.state is ok by the time the rule runs. I guess the issue could be the hardware is not yet fully initialised.

Somehow the settings of card 0 (HDA Intel PCH) are restored anyway, but not those of card 2 (HDA ATI HDMI). Manually running `alsactl restore 2` later works, albeit partially (some softvol controls are never recovered).
