|
|
Hi,
my fresh Gentoo installation with gnome windowmanager mutes the soundcard on startup. The user has to unmute it manually after each reboot.
How can I get an unmuted soundcard after reboot? |

hathill,
You need to save the alsa settings across reboots.
Add alsasound to your default runlevel, then start the alsasound service.
When you shut down now, your settings will be saved.
When alsasound starts after your next boot, the settings will be restored. _________________ Regards,

I tried
Code: | # rc-update add alsasound default |
but this seemed not to be sufficiant.
How can I save settings? |

jonasstein,
rc-update add alsasound default
is correct but it does not start the service, so at shutdown, you settings were not saved.
Now that you have rebooted and set up your mixer settings again, it should work on subsequent boots.
The alsasound service will have started on this boot.
Thats why I suggested that you start alsasound manually before shutdown.
Does Code: | /etc/init.d/alsasound start | produce a waring about alsasound already being started?
It should - or an error message about why it could not be started. _________________ Regards,

Yes, there is a warning:
Code: | # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
* WARNING: alsasound has already been started

jonasstein,
It should save your settings when you shut down and restore them when you start up. _________________ Regards,
