XOs with no sound

[Philipp Kocher]

What is the ticket number for that problem?

It seems like always the same 7 values are wrong.

There is a shorter solution:
1. Copy /etc/alsa/asound.state of a "healthy" XO to USB flash drive
2. Type "alsactl -f /media/{flash_dirve_name}/asound.state restore" on 
the XO with no sound

Thanks
