Problem storing alsamixer settings

Hello there i have two sound cards in my computer one built-in on the mother and pci-e souncard the problem is that my sound is muted in alsamixer on the pci-e soundcard so i have to raise it to get my sound working, the problem is the settings dont get stored after i reboot the computer. The internal motherboard soundcard works but it doesnt have any digital output wich i need. alsamixer works fine but alsactl store returns this:

# alsactl store
alsactl: save_state:1608: Cannot open /var/lib/alsa/asound.state for writing: No such file or directory

I've tried creating that directory and then it actually saves a file called asound.state there but it still resets the settings in alsamixer.

and when i use alsaconf i get this message:

# alsaconf
/usr/sbin/alsaconf: line 1288: syntax error: unexpected “(” (expecting “}”)



Im guessing, one of these or both have something to do with my settings not being saved, anybody got any idea of what might be wrong? Or can it be something else im doing wrong im pretty new to using XBMC and Linux, so any help would be usefull.

Thank you.



best regards

Welcome to forums

My only guess is you have to delete either /etc/asound.conf or /home/.asoundrc
