I have summarised the result of that thread at the end of the NewbieDOC sound article [1]. If your problem is a result of ALSA incorrectly loading/unloading kernel modules, Florian Kulzer suggests running "udevtrigger --verbose --subsystem-match=sound" [2]. However, I don't think that this is your problem. On Tue, Jul 17, 2007 at 10:16:01AM +0100, annals wrote: > Accordingly, asound.state is not created (/var/lib/alsa/ is empty).

If I run "amixer scontrols", it reports almost all my settings at zero! Simple mixer control 'Master',0 Simple mixer control 'Master Mono',0 Simple mixer control 'Master Surround',0 Simple mixer control 'Headphone Jack Sense',0 Simple mixer control 'PCM',0 [...] However, alsamixer, gnome etc all show that eg my master volume (Master) is set at 77%. Can you set a new sound level for Master in alsamixer? Is the new level persistent?
