[Voyage-linux] Issue with volume at boot up - resolved

[Jeff Mai]

Hi,

A reboot resolved this issue.

The upgrade to my device changed its identifier.  There was no entry for 
the new device identifier in the asound.state file.  I had been 
switching the Alix on and off without issuing a reboot command so the 
asound.state file was never updated.

Thanks again.

Cheers
Jeff
