I had the same problem once, because 'alsactl store' and 'alsactl restore' only worked on one card, although it said, that if it's called without a card specified, it should save/restore the settings of both cards... You could probably solve it by editing your Alsa-Startup-Script (probably /etc/init.d/alsasound) and replace the 'alsactl store' with 'alsactl -c 0 store; alsactl -c 1 store' and the same with the restore part. Well... before doing that, I'd take a look at the help-output of alsactl, I'm not sure if the above syntax is right, and I can't check it right now, because I'm writing this mail on a...nother OS... -Michael
