Hi Jeff,<br /><br />
Alsa stores the sound device information under /var/lib/alsa/asound.state before reboot. You can run "alsactl store 0" <br />
to save the sound information for card0.<br /><br />
After restart it will run "alsactl restore 0" to restore the saved states.<br /><br />
Regards,<br />
Punky<br /><br />
