From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: My Dell Latitude CSx with Neomagic NM2360 audio is having problems with restoring sound settings after I upgraded from FC1. Sound remains muted and at zero volume when X is restarted. I don't know how sound settings are normally restored, but when I runn alsactl restore it gives the following error message: alsactl: set_control:966: Cannot write control '2:0:0:CD Playback Switch:0' : Invalid argument removing the line associated with this setting in /etc/asound.state then produces this error message: alsactl: set_control:966: Cannot write control '2:0:0:CD Playback Volume:0' : Invalid argument Removing the line associated with this setting then allows alsactl to run properly, and the sound setting gets restored (and sound works). Unfortunately alsactl writes an improper save file again when the machine is shut down, and the problem repeats itself. Workaround: run alsactl --force restore restore and the error messages are still generated, but the sound settings are set properly. Does alsactl restore the settings? If so where does it do it? This machine doesn't have a CD-ROM, so I assume that might be the source of the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login 2. Adjust sound levels via Volume Control 3. Play sound, hear sound. 4. Restart machine. 5. Login again. 6. Try to play a sound (I was using mplayer, but the system sounds don't play as well) 7. Sound doesn't play. Actual Results: Silence Expected Results: The sound to play.
