I noticed there is no link to /etc/init.d/alsa-utils in /etc/rc[2,3,5].d/. After adding one, alsactl store / alsactl restore is called correctly upon shutdown / startup.
Though this doesn't solve the problem. Any idea where to look further? -- /var/lib/alsa/asound.state is resetted at every boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/61256 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
