sound card
 

Hi I have Suse 10.0 and its great but I can't get it to store the sound settings. this is what I have to do each time I reboot: alsaconf, follow steps and save by typeing " alsactl store" is this right? this was the same when I had Suse 9.3 can you help. thank you, Adrian

Re: sound card
 

I assume you have tried

alsactl -f configfile restore in /etc/rc.local

after doing

alsactl -f configfile store

after using your mixer to set the card up like your want?

This should have the effect of restoring the saved configuration in configfile each time you start up your system.

Thanks rylan76, just tried that and just the same after re-boot. I went into Yast and clicked on sound and it says not configured, so I tried to set it up and got the error " The Kernel module can not be loaded. This can be caused by incrrect module parameters incuding invalid io and IRQ parameters."

The error I got in Konsole was alsactl load state: 1250: can not find soundcard in'...

The card is listed as VIA Technologies inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio control
also it says
Legacy probe legacy ISA (non pnp) chips
any help in easy to follow steps much appriciated, thanks Adrian

Hi Adrian,

ERm... no idea man! If that didn't work I don't know what next - there should logically be no difference between doing what you do by hand (i. e. the module stuff) and putting them in /etc/rc.local... are you sure that alsactl found the stored settings file? Use an absolute path, i. e. if your user home directory is "adrian" you will reference the stored settings file with

/usr/home/adrian/strored.settings.file

(This was a problem I ran into when I tried this the first time - I didn't specify the complete path)

Hope this helped a bit, at least!
