Description

The default ALSA settings is to have no file /etc/asound.conf and thus no settings! This usually perfectly works though. However it may happen that the card numbers start at 1 instead of 0 and it seems that, in this case, ALSA is trying to use the card 0: sound is not working at boot but using the tool to set ALSA output make it work. Doing this while persistence is activated, a file /etc/asound.conf is written with the first card number (thus nbr. 1) and next boot sound is working during boot.

We need to add an early boot service that sets the default ALSA card to the first one available.
