	Need to reconfigure sound on every boot by Andreas Rönnquist-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi! I need to do a alsaconf after every boot, otherwise I don't get any sound. This is on a ABit motherboard, Nvidia nforce 590 chipset, with built-in sound. How can I make it configure the built-in sound-card automatically on every boot? I am running debian stable, Linux 2.6.26-2, amd64, and I'm under the impression that this has changed somewhat recently. thanks in advance -- Andreas Ronnquist <andreas.ronnquist@...> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Be sure to make sure that the script is pointing to the correct location of your config (asound.state) file (on my gentoo machine it is in /etc). > I am running debian stable, Linux 2.6.26-2, amd64, and I'm under the > impression that this has changed somewhat recently. > > thanks in advance > -- > Andreas Ronnquist <andreas.ronnquist@...> > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@... > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Be sure to make sure that > the script is pointing to the correct location of your config > (asound.state) file (on my gentoo machine it is in /etc). Debian does not have /etc/init.d/alsasound. It has /etc/init.d/alsa-utils instead... at least on Sid, which I use. Lenny might be different than Sid, so I hope someone corrects what I'm saying if it is, but the startup script is provided by the package called 'alsa-utils'. Andreas, do you have 'alsa-utils' installed on your system? If you're not sure, try opening a terminal and running apt-cache policy alsa-utils Here's what I get: $ apt-cache policy alsa-utils alsa-utils: Installed: 1.0.21-1 Candidate: 1.0.21-1 Version table: *** 1.0.21-1 0 990 http://debian.osuosl.org unstable/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Neal's description of what the startup script is supposed to do is quite correct, though. On Debian, the file called 'asound.state' (where your mixer controls are saved) is located in '/var/lib/alsa'.

No need to alsaconf any longer! The behaviour is consistent even when rebooting.

I think the proper way is to set up a fixed ids for your cards. This way the system can assign a specific id to your card each time you boot. For this to work I just set up following file cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound ## ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio ## module options should go here options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=ref options snd-usb-audio index=1 regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe".

So, I think the best to do here is writting it in wiki.debian.org/SoundFAQ one time and then redirect from this list to there, isn't it ? I was using a sed script which changed my ~/.asoundrc, but now I will try your tip, it is more correct. Regards, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe".
