Issue Description

Standalone mode is working perfectly ie. mixer/routing/etc settings all remain active during normal use, without PC. But when I disconnect the USB (any way, ie. disconnecting the USB cable, or turning off the scarlett or turning off the computer), at the next USB reconnection, settings revert back to some previous state and I have to start the gui, and load the settings from file or manually set them again. For example, if I turn off everything (scarlett and PC), disconnect the USB cable, then turn back on the scarlett, it is in the desired state. But as soon as I reconnect the USB, some settings are set back to a previous state. Any idea? Thanks, Peter

Hi @alarmix,

Probably alsactl store was run sometime when you shut down your computer and saved the settings in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state and these settings are restored automatically with alsactl restore by the alsa-state services whenever you plug your interface in.

Try disabling the alsa-state service or removing the state file, and let me know if that helps!

Regards, Geoffrey.

Hi Geoffrey, removed the state file, problem solved. If it comes back later, I'll disable the service too. Thanks, Peter
