Comment 26 for bug 192382

Well the trick of using an asound.state file seems to work, and using pulse audio allow one to set the volume of the pulse device using alsamixer. So this bug is probably going to be quite transparent to the typical user that is doing a fresh installation.

Anyway it is a bad thing to have in a lts, maybe it is due to the version mimatch between the different alsa component, but the fact is that one is able to change the mixer settings using the old asound.state file.

I use a file with all the outputs, not only one, that allow me to tweak my settings quite fine.

regards.
