Alsaconf fails
Hello,
When I run alsaconf as root, I receive the following...
Loading driver...
:: Saving ALSA Levels [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/alsactl: get_control:259: Cannot read control '2,0,0,PCM Playback Switch,0': Invalid argument
[FAIL]
:: Restoring ALSA Levels [BUSY]
No state is present for card CMI8768
No state is present for card L2000
[DONE]
Sound works correctly at this point, but I can not store the settings. When I run 'alsactl store' as root, I get the same error...
alsactl: get_control:259: Cannot read control '2,0,0,PCM Playback Switch,0': Invalid argument
So, after restarting I have no sound and need to run alsaconf again. My asound.state file is below. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Alsaconf fails
First thing I'd try is upgrading to alsa 1.0.17

Re: Alsaconf fails
Thanks for the help brebs. I upgraded to 1.0.17 and alsaconf completes without any errors. However, I get a similar error when running alsactl store as root...
alsactl: get_control:262: Cannot read control '2,0,0,PCM Playback Switch,0': Invalid argument

Re: Alsaconf fails
Go to the #alsa channel on FreeNode in irc (Internet Chat). Run this script: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh and throw the output into http://pastebin.ca/ and show the link to it.
Speak to gnubien or wishie in that channel - they are experts
