perhaps try alsactl store ? It helps.
Only if you have called up the alsoctl.gui and made it functional.
No use storing defective settings into your home dir.
No issue here with the sound and never had,
though this problem was
visible from time to time during the years on different machines
after upgrades, migration to new hardware etc etc. Storing the
settings solves it. This should be called on shutdown/reboot as
well same as restore on boot by the init script AFAIR.
I am not sure if TDE saves the state. My impression is it reads the
state from alsa.
In which case it is reading a defective file in /root since the
shutdowen and init stuff runs as root, whereas if I run the restore
from a terminal, as me, then it reads a good file from my home dir,
one that I previously saved after calling up the gui as me and
making it work.
It is neither in user dir not in root dir. It is saved in
/var/lib/alsa/asound.state
