Intel i8x0 audio issue

[Igor N. Kolomiyets]

Opps. I have the same behaviour with KDE. Anyways the problem is that the
sound system can be fired up only with "Play Test Sound" button. Which does
not seem to be right.

Check your mixer settings, e.g. with alsamixer. Then run "alsactl store"
as root.

I've noticed that doing so does not reliably store/restore *all* of the
settings.  For example, on my nForce-2 motherboard (using the intel8x0
driver), the 'mix' switch is not properly stored (or restored -- I'm not
sure which), although levels are.
