[Solved]Cinnamon 2.4.2 looses keyboard layout & audio output

Hi Commnity,
my brand new cinnamon installation looses the keyboard layout and audio output after every reboot. In the settings manager I have the german layout on top and the english (us) below. After every reboot I have to select the german layout manualy. I tried to set it via dconf-editor, but it's already set to [de,us]. It's the same with the audio ouput. I want to use the digital s/pdif output and after every reboot it changes to the analog output. I tried alsamixer, unmuted the digital output, but that doesn't work for me. Is there something I have to blacklist etc? Maybe you have a solution for me. Thank you.

As for the sound problem, are services "alsa-restore.service" and "alsa-store.service" enabled?

systemctl is-enabled alsa-store.service
systemctl is-enabled alsa-restore.service

Cinnamon now uses the mintlocale package in other distributions to manage selected keyboard layouts, so I'd try installing that package and then playing around with the settings.

@skunkos
As output i get "static". Is that correct?

@clfarron4
I tried that, but it still forgets the locale settings. :-/

€dit: It looks like I could solve both problems. The weird keyboard behaviour could be solved after latest cinnamon update. I removed Englisch US from the Layout-Settings and now it works. It keeps German as the keyboard-layout. The sound-issue could also be solved. I've added the following to /etc/pulse/default.pa

set-card-profile 1 output:iec958-stereo+input:analog-stereo
set-default-sink 2
