If suspend/resume changes the settings of the card, you need to deal with that as a separate issue - otherwise resume isn't restoring things properly. Perhaps you need to prevent module unloading. Just restoring the correct settings when the driver is loaded is definitely too late. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > > No need. Let userspace save it somewhere, if that's needed. > > Don't troll, James. Reread the thread and see why doing it in userspace is > too late. Why is it too late? There is no need for the driver to set *any* volume levels on load. When told to load the driver, just LOAD the DRIVER. Don't reset the card, or make ANY changes.
