Cheryl - The file is "asound.state" and not "asound.stat". I hope that is not the source of some of your difficulties. Otherwise the answer to your question below is yes. Chuck BTW - my asound.state came from beta11 and I believe you are using beta12. Also, one of the more irritating things about alsa is that the names of those "simple mixer controls" change without notice from one version to the next.
