[ltp] sound card problems on 770

[Adam Benjamin]

I have a 770E and the problem for me is not the "settings" in terms of
how the sound card is configured, but rather the volume settings.

After resuming or something I usually do:
   /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/somefilename -L

Where somefilename is the file I've saved my correct volume
information to.  In theory this should be /etc/.aumixrc but I was
disgruntled about enough of the process that I used my own file -
created via /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/somefilename -S  (after using
something like "aumix" to set the correct volumes.)  I have a script
named "volume" which I run when I resume to reset values
quickly/easily.  I could/should probably automate it by putting the
command in the correct script, but as I said I was disgruntled and
just wanted it to work.

Hope that helps..

Adam
