You were right from the beginning, and yes, I think it is a bug, maybe
in the future update this issue can be resolved.
Thanks

Looks like that should be recorded as a possible bug in Alsactl since it
looks like it cannot read back the file that it stored.
Perhaps worth verifying that the issue remains with latest version - but
would probably need pCP team to build a new one.

alsactl version 1.2.3

-d is a debug option and may give us more information on the error
message.
Can you also post the contents of this file:
Code:
/proc/asound/cards
Could be but the error message refers to
Code:
alsactl: set_control:1325: failed to obtain info for control #2 (No such file

alsactl: set_control:1325: failed to obtain info for control #3 (No such file

...
I've just checked and, yes, Explorer 2 is actually Explorer². I wonder
if this non ascii name is causing the problem with restore.

You can see:

saved it using [Card Control] > [Save].
2. If the controls in asound.state line up with the sound cards

Going back to pcp_startup.sh, I would have thought that removing the
$CARDNAME argument to "alsactl init" at line 421 and "alsactl restore"
at line 425 would fix the problem. The effect would be to initialise
and restore settings for all ALSA cards but I can't see that would a

I don't think it matters where you attenuate in the digital domain.
Ideally you should attenuate in the analog domain, using a simple
voltage divider.
