Installation problem

[Rudy81]

I am very interested in this OS for a dedicated audio pc.  Using your instructions I have managed to install the 64 bit iso.  The OS boots and runs off the USB stick and as an install in an internal HDD.

The system 'sees' the HDMI, analog and digital ALC887.  My problem is that I get no sound at all regardless of player used or output volume. 

If I can get the Os to work on my system, I would be more than glad to contribute to the cause. I am tired of using Windows.

Processor is AMD E-350 processor with 8GB ram.
board is Asus E35M1-M Pro.

Thank you for any assistance.

Update:
I applied the latest firmware update and then, after reading many of your posts, I was able to apply the sudo alsamixer command and noted that the SPDIF is muted.  When un-muting, I am now getting sound sent digitally to my DAC.  It works.  The HDMI portion still does not work, but it's a start.

The problem, however persists after every reboot. How can I get the soundcard settings to stay permanently? I have tried to SSH and run "alsactl store", but I get an access denied comment.  Not sure I am setting the command correctly....I know very little about working with Linux, Ubuntu etc.
