I know I saw a change about this in the rawhide logs a few weeks ago, but it's still not working for me - I have 31 volume in asound.state, and yet it's STILL muted after a forced reboot. This problem has been there forever - I don't think I've ever been able to get sound out of my system after a crash without messing with the mixer. This is a very annoying bug, and I'd like to help track down the cause of it. -- Ivan Gyurdiev <ivg2@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cornell University
