The state information stored in /etc/asound.state cannot be properly interpreted when reloaded by alsactl. To fix go into alsamixer (or the hdsp* utilities), make sure that all options are as you want them and then do: alsactl store That will store new information in asound.state. Subsequent restarts of alsa should give no error messages (until another upgrade messes things up again :-) -- Fernando
