Comment 206 for bug 275998

I think the configuration command might have been 'alsactl store', which creates a new asound.state file. I think you have to delete or move the old asound.state file first. As well, there is an /etc/asound.state file and also a /var/lib/asound.state file - I don't recall if you have to move both, but I've only got a backup in /etc so this might be the key one. The one in /var/lib/alsa might just be the one that alsa uses when restoring values after reboot.
