Bug 1001321

Description of problem:
I have an Acer Aspire One 0722. It works fairly well, it used to have F17 installed, now it has F19. However the internal microphone requires the 'mic boost' channel to be at 100% to pick up any audio. This worked fine in F17 however now the mic boost channel volume isn't saved between reboots.

I have done a few different things trying to get this to work. I symlinked /var/lib/alsa/asound.state into /etc/asound.state because someone in the #alsa irc channel suggested it based on looking at the /usr/share/alsa/alsa-ctl.conf hooks don't seem to look there.

I've also removed the /etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf file so that the alsa-restore.service would be invoked. None of that seemed to work really well.

I had one test that sort of seemed to work but I'm not sure how reproducible it was. I would let it get to the GDM login screen and change to a VT, login as a particular user, use amixer to set the mic boost level. And a couple times on reboot it was fine - as long as I did exactly that everytime. (login via console). THEN I tried rebooting and loging in via the GUI, when I did the user I logged in as had that channel as 0 again. I set it via amixer and rebooted, logging in again in the GUI had the volume at 0. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-utils-1.0.27.2-2.fc19.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set mic boost to 100%
2. Reboot
3.

Actual results:
Channel is not saved

Expected results:
Channel is saved.

Additional info:

I am *HIGHLY* motivated to get this fixed, the last problem in this area I dug for awhile till I had a patch I could send to the kernel. I have 9 machines on my desk that are useless until this is solved. I will respond quickly to all requests and my irc nick is gnat42 if you'd like to speed it up.
