[mythtv-users] Boot Sound Volume Set to Zero, Realtek ALC888, GA-EP31-DS3L

>Have you confirmed that storing and restoring the state actually works?
Meaning, set the volume to some level.  Save it with alsactl store.  Then
change the volume level.  Then try alsactl restore and see if the volume
goes back to the saved level.

OK did that, interesting results.

If the slider is unmuted then the restore command will largely restore volume levels, although in a non linear way.  50% > 100%, but 
30% > 30%!

If the slider is muted / 0% then no volume restore occurs.

I'm not sure that advances things much, I'll wait a bit for more responses, if none I'll head over to ALSA.
