[PLUG] Audio goes away

[Chuck Hast]

Ken,
This is what I got from the first command:
● alsa-state.service - Manage Sound Card State (restore and store)
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/alsa-state.service; static; vendor
preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead)
Condition: start condition failed at Wed 2019-04-03 22:35:45 CDT; 4 days ago
           └─ ConditionPathExists=/etc/alsa/state-daemon.conf was not met
     Docs: man:alsactl(1)


And the second command gave me this:
kp4djt at kp4djt64:~$ systemctl status alsa-restore.service
● alsa-restore.service - Save/Restore Sound Card State
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/alsa-restore.service; static; vendor
preset: enabled)
   Active: active (exited) since Wed 2019-04-03 22:35:45 CDT; 4 days ago
     Docs: man:alsactl(1)
  Process: 940 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa restore
(code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
  Process: 936 ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /run/alsa (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 940 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

abr 03 22:35:45 kp4djt64 systemd[1]: Starting Save/Restore Sound Card
State...
abr 03 22:35:45 kp4djt64 systemd[1]: Started Save/Restore Sound Card State.
kp4djt at kp4djt64:~$

But  I still have no audio... Something is broke, I will reboot it and see
what I get.
