Hello, I installed alsa-lib and alsa-utils. Then I ran 'alsactl store' to save the volume level. This is how I got /etc/asound.state. Then I ran 'alsactl restore' and got this message: Unknown hardware: "YMF724F" "SigmaTel STAC9700,83,84" "AC97a:83847600" "0x1073" "0x000d" Hardware is initialized using a guess method I have 2 sound cards: a built-in Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) and a non-built-in Yamaha Corporation YMF-724F [DS-1 Audio Controller] (rev 03) I've also built the kernel with support for ALSA. I've built and installed the kernel modules for both cards, as well. The Yamaha card works, e.g. produces sound when I play something. I just want to save and restore the its volume level at shutdown and at boot time, respectively. So, what might be wrong with my system?
