Hi,
I at least found out what causes the trouble on my machine
even so I didn found a solution yet. A report:
I start the machine and the sounddriver is loaded fine
(alsasound status).
After starting the jack server and hydrogen for example i
have
got no sound comming out. When I open the alsamixer all the
settings are zero even so I stored them with
(/usr/sbin/alsactl store 0) the last time. So when I change
the dac of the alsamixer or do a (/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
0) I get sound out of the machine. When I stop alsasound and
start it again I get
the same errors than all the others.
[root@pygmalion erikos]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start
Starting sound driver snd-ice1712                  [  OK  ]
Starting sequencer                                         [
 OK  ]
Restoring sound driver settings /usr/sbin/alsactl:
load_state:1272: No soundcards found...      [FAILED]

So I say that the /etc/asound.state can`t be loaded
properly. As far as I understand the script alsasound, it
does load as default (asound.state).
