What is responsible for creating /var/lib/alsa/asound.state ? In that file, I have the following control:
control.16 {
 comment.access 'read write'
 comment.type INTEGER
 comment.count 1
 comment.range '0 - 3'
 comment.dbmin -1800
 comment.dbmax 0
 iface MIXER
 name 'PC Beep Playback Volume'
 value 0
}

As you can see, I only have 4 volume levels for pc beep, with the lowest giving it -18.00 dB gain. Apparently, this is still too loud and can hardly be considered as level 0. How do I change the dbmin and also give it more range?
