[arch-general] archlinux install bottleneck

After having run arch-chroot /mnt /usr/bin/bash one of the things I do is to run alsactl store. alsactl store returns error 125 /var/lib/alsa/asound.state no such file or directory. Certainly there's no such file since when alsa was run before arch-chroot got run on system boot /mnt/var/lib/alsa directory was empty having just run pacstrap on /mnt. So since this is supposed to work, could it be arch-chroot script fails to collect and pass along enough of the right environment information to its chrooted environment for alsactl store to run? Details are available at: information at: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=43f6670eb3bde26ad6491d2faa631625109f88d0 --

Kernel release: 4.13.3-1-ARCH Looks like you are using an older iso to install ? If so, have you tried with the 2018.02.01 iso ? LW

As a sidenote: Why are you running alsactl store inside the chroot?

It is a step helpful for the totally blind who are using the Talking Arch installation system. Without it, getting speech working reliably is complicated. Sent from my iPhone

Because I want the sound card operational on first boot. I have two sets of speakers connected to the computer when I failed on that first install. So I disconnected the usb set and the install failed again with the same error. Finally after each install, I boot into arch and don't hear grub beep or any sound after that. It could be the torrent I used was hacked since grub at least should have beeped even if the sound card didn't work. Now it's possible I may need to use the be my eyes app on my iPhone to examine the screen for me to see if archlinux can't for some reason find the sound card and was maybe asking for some assistive input from me to get it going.
