Instead we use hdspmixer, which is a much better mixer. Due to this difference if you want to do the equivalent of alsactl restore with the hdsp series I think you have to run a script with commands in it to set levels, or you have to start X and run hdspmixer. For this reason it's a drag on my system to keep scripts around for times when I do a remote reboot and am not able to run hdspmixer. Currentlt alsamixer and the hdsp family do not mix. (You decide if the pun was intended.) ;-)
