hi list, yesterday i successfully replaced the debian alsa drivers/libs/etc with the selfcompiled ones, v1.0.14rc3 - and (almost) everything works wonderful! well, the only thing what does not work as previously is that the alsamixer settings for my onboard device (intel8x0) are not restored after a reboot - everything muted! if i plug the usb interface, the mixer is not muted, but there are some old settings saved, and if i change the settings, on the next boot they are not restored too. plugin the multiface(cardbus) works wery well, since we use the 'hdspmixer' and not the 'alsamixer' for that one. i am able to store settings with '/usr/sbin/alsactl store 0' (in case, rme is not pluged in) but when i connect the rme, the onboard sound will become a number '1' so i can restore with '/usr/sbin/alsactl restore 1'. for me that means that storing/restoring works with card-name and not with the card-number. last night i looked into the alsa wiki, but all hints i found there did not helped here. so the question is, is someone out there who speaks a clearly debianeese and can help me to set this up? perhaps someone has a good link for reading outside of alsa wiki, since i think that i have already tried everything i found there! if i can give you any other useful information, please let me know that. cheers, doc
