Installation problem

[agent_kith]

Well, I am about to give up on this journey.  12+ hours working on this and although it works, I always have to go into the alsa mixer to unmute the SPDIF.  I have set everything up and run 'sudo alsactl store' to no avail.  Very frustrating to be so close yet so far.  The sound with the included players is excellent via SPDIF. But, not being able to reboot the machine without major work to unmute things is not what I need to work with.  Sadly, I am not conversant in the computer language area.

I know it can work because I loaded Euphony trial and it worked out of the box on HDMI and SPDIF.  I am not going to pay almost $300 for software, so it may be back to windows and Jriver MC.

Thank you for the help.

This is a strange one. When you reboot, and confirm there's no sound on your audio card. What happens when you then SSH into the machine and run the following?

Code:

sudo alsactl restore

Let me know if that works. If yes, I'll just setup Snakeoil to run this everytime on boot up to restore the saved settings.
