Workaround no. The apm code has the relevant hooks if you'd like to
modify
your sound driver to restore state when the machine restarts from a
suspend.
Technically its the BIOS problem with APM. Some biosen do restore
some don't.
----------------------
My question is whether there are efforts under way to develop some
driver specifications for linux drivers that would enable all drivers
to play nice with APM. If not, perhaps someone who is familiar with
writing linux drivers and APM should write up a document on upgrading
drivers for APM support and put it on the web somewhere. It seems
to me that all driver developers should be encouraged to upgrade
their drivers soon.
Thanks,
Miles
