11 Hmm, that should have worked. Maybe you can do some more playing with
12 alsactl and the -f option. I think you could drop all mixers to 0 and
13 mute them, and save that with "alsactl -f /etc/asound.state.silent
14 store". The on resume, try:
15
16 alsactl -f /etc/asound.state.silent restore
17 alsactl -f /etc/asound.state restore
18
19 This should try to mute everything, and then restore the normal volumes.

21 Good luck,
