 |
|
When I first installed and configured ALSA, it was for a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit (CA0106). Then that card broke, and I switched to the onboard sound card. Now ALSA does not keep volume levels between halt and next boot, and when it starts, I get this:
| Code: | * Restoring Mixer Levels...
Unknown hardware: "VIA8233" "Realtek ALC200,200P rev 0" "AC97a:414c4710" "0x4005
" "0x4710"
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
* Errors while restoring defaults, ignoring [ ok ] |
How do I fix this?

rm /etc/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
2 locations, for wherever Gentoo puts asound.state |

I removed those files.
At next boot, it still displayed the error message, it still did not keep volume, and it generated a new asound.state file in /var/lib/alsa/.

woddfellow2,
You should rebuild your kernel with changes to selected sound card drivers (Lose the Blaster, add the Via). Then run alsaconf, then alsamixer to set levels.
That's my best guess.

After setting your volume, you can run this :

I think that the kernel might have problems supporting your card, could you please post dmesg after booting? |

I'm not seeing *any* soundcards, it could be that the module still needs to be loaded or compiled into the kernel. The best option to figure out which module is used, is by using a livecd and then do lspci -v and see which module/driver is attached to your card. |

481 & 482 look to be the sound
| Code: | | 11063059 Yes VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller snd-via82xx v2.6.25- |
From the alsa guide:
check the /etc/conf.d/alsasound file and ensure that SAVE_ON_STOP variable is set to yes. This saves your sound settings when you shutdown your system. |

SAVE_ON_STOP is set to yes. I still have the problem.

Then take it to the ALSA bugzilla. You won't find ALSA devs here.
In the meantime, use something like this in your local startup script:
| Code: | # Don't want annoying beep
amixer -q set "Beep" 0 mute
amixer -q set "Master" 55 unmute |

How would I wipe ALSA's configuration completely? Where does ALSA store its configuration files?

In fact, maybe if you can reset the config file, then you will be able to retest.

Same problem here (except that I never exchanged my audio card). Even when I run alsaconf a similar WARNING happens | Code: | Running update-modules...
Loading driver...
* Loading ALSA modules ...
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-card-0 ... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...

The card works fine, I manually can set the volume. Just it is reset after each boot and also when I run /etc/init.d/alsasound restart | Code: | /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.

Any idea? Writing my own initscript that sets the mixer volume? Is it a Alsa problem? |
