Some changelog details might be related:

alsa-utils (1.1.2-1ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=low
  - Move init script volume settings to new alsactl database
  - Put the daemon file in /var/lib/alsa
  - Create /run/alsa directory so that systemd services don't fail
  (/run/alsa is missing & /run/alsa/ is empty)
  * Drop upstart files, Debian doesn't carry them, and we use systemd for
    init

Title:
  systemd-udevd[409]: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa
  restore 1' failed with exit code 99

Status in alsa-utils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This error is logged :
  systemd-udevd[409]: Process '/usr/sbin/alsactl -E HOME=/run/alsa restore 1' failed with exit code 99

  note: sound works as expected when the GS session is opened; so maybe
  a boot race.

  but from a terminal, an other error is found:
  /usr/sbin/alsactl: sysfs_init:48: sysfs path '/sys' is invalid

  
  Details:

  oem@u64:~$ which alsactl
  /usr/sbin/alsactl
  oem@u64:~$ df -h /usr/sbin/alsactl

  tmpfs           396M   12M  385M   3% /run

  (/run/alsa does not exist but /run/alsa/ which is an empty subdir)

  
  oem@u64:~$ /usr/sbin/alsactl restore

  Hardware is initialized using a generic method
  /usr/sbin/alsactl: sysfs_init:48: sysfs path '/sys' is invalid

  note: that command works: volume is set back to 50% from 100% initialy
