[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#768665: alsa-utils: state of sound not saved / restored

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Unsure

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Manually reset sound levels (particularly Surround volume) on start-up.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I expected for the Surround volume to be saved and restored on restart,
but it didn't.

Does this behaviour depend at all on whether systemd or sysvinit is in used?

I'm using sysvinit.

I'd welcome any suggestions on debugging this.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
