Hi

Something changed in ALSA land, if you use sound you may want to check.

I've seen the errors on alsactl restore too. However sound seems to work for
me. Probably ALSA changed some ids of the knobs for alsamixer and the saved
state could not be properly restored.

You've not included even the most basic diagnostic information in your
report. I'd expect this is user error of some kind but "fails" isn't
the most verbose report...

alsactl is known to grumble when the mixer element number id is
changed. It just complains but does his job at best, continuing to
restore the mixer status by guessing from the element name. So,
usually it should work as is.
