I went through the ALSA tutorial, doing everything it says, but yet ALSA still refuses to work when I log in.

In /etc/conf.d/alsasound, SAVE_ON_STOP is set to yes, and RESTORE_ON_START is set to yes.

In /etc/modules.d/alsa, I have
Code:
options snd-ca0106 index=0
options snd-via82xx index=1


And cat /proc/asound/cards returns
Code:
 0 [CA0106         ]: CA0106 - CA0106
                      Audigy SE [SB0570] at 0x1140 irq 23
 1 [Intel          ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel
                      HDA Intel at 0x52100000 irq 23


Yes still, every time I log in, I have to go to System>Preferences>Sound and set Default Mixer Tracks: Device to snd-ca0106. Any help?

Did you install alsasound in kernel or as a package?
And of course you ran alsaconf
You probably have 2 sound cards?

So to be clear
Code:
/etc/init.d/alsasound status

shows alsa is started?
But sound is muted or is it the wrong kernel module is loading?

and if you run alsamixer from the comand line can you adjust your sound there?
I have a similar problem on my laptop every time I log in I have to manually unmute PCM.
I think is has something to do with KDE.
I just disabled the whole KDE sound system and am going to see if that fixes it.
EDIT: Nope. If I restart my session sound PCM is muted.
