Are you using kde? If so, set all audio settings to default and play
around with audioßettings in kmix, reboot and test again.

I'm not using KDE. Most of the boots I do not use X at all - just 
staying at ttys.

thanks

We need your amixer output. This error seems to stem from the fact that 
not all widgets have the expected functionality, so amixer reports errors. 
This implies that we need to refactor a few of the initscript's functions 
to check the capability of the widget prior to invoking an action on it.

In other words, not everyone will experience this error, because it's 
codec- and revision-specific.

Hmm, AFAIK graphic adapters are unable to amplify and serve sound,
in almost all cases, aren't they?

To check which soundcard is used try:
# cat /proc/asound/cards
or
# lspci | grep -i audio

And if you really have the same problem, fire up alsamixer, set
channels , mixers etc, unmute master and pcm and test again.

Sorry! I've copied the wrong lspci line.

  set volume et cetera...
# alsactl init
  ???
# alsactl store
# invoke-rc.d alsa-utils stop

Did that and when I reboot the system, master is mute again.

the output of the following command could be of interest:

# /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Shutting down ALSA...amixer: Invalid command!

Do you need the modem snd_hda_codec_si3054?
You can try the following:
Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf:

###
blacklist snd-hda-codec-si3054

alias snd-card-0       snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel  index=0
options snd-hda-intel  model=hp
###

This will prevent snd-hda-codec-si3054 to load at boottime and load
snd-hda-intel with model parameter hp.

then run:

# alsa force-reload
# alsactl init
  ???
# invoke-rc.d alsa-utils stop
  ???
# invoke-rc.d alsa-utils start

Well known, there is no database for powerpc hardware.

I guess you were using kmix or somethig like that to set up your
mixer. Alsa doesn't know these settings so it refused
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state. Please delete
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state, set your mixer with alsamixer, run
`alsactl store && invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart` and check your
mixersetings again.

Hi,

I think I didn't explain properly why I added the info on this bug
report. First of all I understood you were looking for reports of
cards that presented the same pattern so I sent you my case.

I thought I was helping because it is a *new* behavior and the closest
thing I found on BTS was this.

Sorry to bother you,

They are mute again.

Let me tell something odd that is happening here that may help you (I
don't know). What has been troubling me is that, as I already told
you, when I reboot the system the master is mute and the volume is set
to 0%.

What is odd is if I close the kde session *and* restart the X11 the
mixer is not muted but the volume is set back to 0%.

I am telling you this because there may be two different causes to the behavior.

Gunther,

Hi alsa-devel@!

One of the maintainers of alsa-utils package in Debian advised me to ask 
for your help. I've encountered following problem:

#v+
$ amixer -c 0 -q set Mic 0% mute
amixer: Invalid command!
#v-

This command is invoked from /etc/init.d/alsa-utils script during 
system shutdown. Do you have any ideas how to fix that?

Here is some basic info about my hardware:

1. It would be an option to insert:
   'echo option "snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1"' >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
2. It is a good idea to update to alsa-source 1.0.21-2 and build biuld
   your driver up from there.
