Comment 35 for bug 363892

Thanks Alex. The only difference I saw was in the value of Master
Playback Volume. But I think this was something I adjusted. When I had
no sound it was 81, when I had sound it was 84. When I didn't have
sound I moved the Master Playback up and back to check that there was
no sound. I think that accounts for the discrepancy.

       control.28 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type INTEGER
                comment.count 1
                comment.range '0 - 127'
                comment.dbmin -9525
                comment.dbmax 0
                iface MIXER
                name 'Master Playback Volume'
                value 81
        }

I also don't think that editing the lanai-sound file matters. I think
I just get sound on every other reboot. Or maybe it is how I edit the
file. Maybe I have to make sure that it starts with a "#" rather than
a whitespace.
