Hi! With the recent changes to the sound drivers, will the mixer begin working like it used to before 5.3 is released? The release notes for 5.3-BETA6 say that "the sound(4) driver reads /boot/device.hints on startup, to allow setting of default values for mixer channels." But this doesn't seem to be happening. The release notes also say the device driver's name is still pcm, however I couldn't find this in /boot/device.hints. In my particular case, I am using the device ich for my sound. Because the mixer settings are not being picked up properly, upon boot, my system's mixer settings all revert to zero. I have to fix them manually by applying levels to 'pcm' and 'vol'. Is this a problem across the board at the moment with mixer settings, or applicable to only certain drivers (such as ich?) Is there anything I can do to fix the problem, or will it be fixed before 5.3?
