Can you show
aplay -l
I wonder where this “card Zero” is coming from. Usually they are just named “card 0”, “card 1” etc. Also the state file does not contain this word at all. But probably its just the other card name which would then show up in aplay -l as well.
No state is present for card Zero
Which makes perfectly sense as long as it does not have been saved yet, although not sure if this is what the error message says exactly. But this one does not help, does it?
