Volume adjustment after reboot has no effect

[crashmaster]

I use the analog output, no HDMI connected.
After a boot or reboot i get the full volume (100%, far too loud) although alsamixer shows the wanted volume (app. 50%), so alsa-restore.service seems to work right.
Moving the shifter in alsamixer now only a little bit and volume is like it should be until next boot.
Maybe a start position problem in systemd for alsa drivers?

There was a huge fix to the alsa driver for the pi. Dont know if the latest official kernel includes it though. Try the 3.8 kernel i posted. You can always go back

Thanks moonman, i installed 3.8.10 now and it works!

[moonman]

Glad it worked for you. Next official kernel rebuild will include this fix if you want to go back.

There's really no reason to go back - everything works excellent and some things (for me especially alsa) became better with 3.8.10. In future i will also on Arm architecture always take a look for latest kernel releases and try them.
3.6.x has become a kind of grandfather now
