Summary:                    Left front channel always muted on boot
Description: 
ice1724 (M Audio Revolution 7.1 in my case) always restores the mixer
settings at boot, but the left front channel is muted regardless.  The fix
is to run alsamixer and adjust the slider again.  This forces the channel
to unmute.  Should I be worried "amixer scontrols" reports everything as
"Mono" as well?

Well, I have the same problem, in my case the speaker not working is the
right one, and the slider I have to change in alsamixer is "DAC" (the
first one).
There are no differences between amixer or asound.state before and after,
that's coherent with the problem, restoring or saving the state doesn't
help.
The only difference I see in asound.state between this DAC and the others
is the "index" property: (I guess this is why this one is called "DAC" and
the other ones are "DAC n")
        control.20 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type INTEGER
                comment.count 1
                comment.range '0 - 255'
                iface MIXER
                name 'DAC Volume'
                value 230
        }
        control.21 {
                comment.access 'read write'
                comment.type INTEGER
                comment.count 1
                comment.range '0 - 255'
                iface MIXER
                name 'DAC Volume'
                index 1
                value 230
        }

I'm not sure what else to look at, but I can test whatever you like, just
ask please.
I'm using standalone ALSA 1.0.9 and kernel 2.6.12 but this seems to be a
problem with every version of alsa, since this bug is really old. Mi sound
card is an M-Audio Revolution 7.1

Is it just me or are the left and right channels swapped on the M-Audio
Revolution 7.1 card as well?
