ALSA: "No State Present for Card ... "

I keep getting this message during my boot up:

"No state present for card U0x46d0x8ce"

The boot stops after that message.  If I press "Enter" I can login normally.   I DO have audio--but that message is kind of annoying every time.  Is there a remedy?

You can try to resave your mixer settings. #alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store

Hmmm:  alsactl: command not found

Would my recent install of gnome 3 have anything to do with this??

Try running it as root if you didn't already. Otherwise, I'm not sure about Gnome3.

Yeah, I did run it as root.  I believe gnome 3 requires pulseaudio in some way or another, but I have no idea how that would affect my alsa "no state" message during boot.

$ pkgfile alsactl
extra/alsa-utils

I (re)installed alsa-utils, but I'm still getting this error:

bash: alsactl: command not found

Could my PATH be messed up, or...??

What does "which alsactl" show?  It should be in /usr/sbin.

Re: ALSA: "No State Present for Card ... "

"which: no alsactl in (/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/opt/webstack/bin:/opt/webstack/sbin)"

[Edit]  Found it in /usr/sbin   How do I add /usr/sbin to my PATH?  (Or is that a bad idea?)

I ran the alsactl command--and that took care of the error message--but I still have to hit "Enter" to get to a login prompt.    In other words, my boot messages go by then stop after displaying this one:

Restoring ALSA Levels     [Done]

It just lays there until I hit enter.    Any idea why it stops there?
