I used command "alsactl store" to default level volume of my sound card but it wouldn't work well. Then, I have to set up volume each time I boot up.
what is method to save current setting volume? I don't want to adjust volume on each time. I used gnome 2.6

Add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

alsactl restore

Thanks! My sound works great!
I also have problem when I type $alsaactl restore at command line. Help me to get rid of this problem

alsactl: set_control:805: warning: name mismatch (Exchange Front/Surround/Stereo Mic) for control #39
alsactl: set_control:805: warning: name mismatch (Spread Front to Surround and C enter/LFE/Exchange Front/Surround) for control #40
alsactl: set_control:805: warning: name mismatch (Downmix/Spread Front to Surrou nd and Center/LFE) for control #41
alsactl: set_control:892: bad control.41.value type

Try doing an 'aslactl store' then an 'alsactl restore'. That usually clears it up for me. Did you install the Slackware ALSA packages or compile ALSA on your own? The Slackware packages come with a handy script /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa that does the same trick Kovacs suggested as well as running 'alsactl store' during a shutdown or reboot. If you installed from source you should be able to extract that file from one of the Slackware ALSA packages (not sure which one).

Thanks for that, I didn't know there was an rc.alsa... I just got it from ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar.../ap/alsa-utils and I'm just about to reboot to test it.
