YaAqoB Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hello all. I have Mandrake 10.1 and every time I boot it resets my Sound mixer settings so basically every restart I have to unmute, change the bass and treble etc etc. Does anyone know whay this would be happening? My sound card is a Sound Blaster Live! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 using the alsa driver? install alsa-utils and if that alone doesn't fix it run; alsactl store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) did you run; alsactl store ? you might have to specify the card. I forgot how :unsure: look in /proc/asound/ with ls ls /proc/asound/ I have card0 alsactl store card0 alsactl card0 store or something like that. It's on the forum....somewhere. Or someone will show up to tell ya. /bvc's getting rusty :unsure: Edited November 30, 2004 by bvc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YaAqoB Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I have tried all above but still no luck, still won't see the card during boot up or load my mixer settings. Still mute on restart. Although I'm not sure if I did the /proc/asound thing correctly. I went: alsactl store Live ANy more help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 If you just run 'alsactl restore' as root after a reboot it will probably restore your good settings. I have the same problem currently on one of my machines, the alsactl restore run during boot fails for some reason. I think it's called too fast, or something. If you call it manually after booting it works fine. It also started working for me while I was twiddling with kernel boot options and BIOS settings last night in a vain attempt to make prism54 work, but I didn't take a note of which particular settings made it work, unfortunately.

Guest dreamtheater Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) I had the same problem with my SBLive. I don't know why this doesn't work properly at bootup anymore with Mandrake 10.1 (since it worked perfectly with 10.0). Anyway - I resolved this annoyance by adding the line /usr/sbin/alsactl restore to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. I also changed the group owning the file /usr/sbin/alsactl from root to audio and added myself to the audio group (I don't know if this procedure was really necessary...) This doesn't resolve the 'no soundcard found' error at bootup though, which is a bit annoying still... I hope this works for you.

Guest littleoak Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I have the same problem with mdk10.1 and snd-intel8x0. After reboot and login i will restore it manually by "alsactl restore". When I run ./snddevices script bundled with ALSA then run /etc/idit.d/alsa script with start param everything is OK. this script is usable for non udev or devFS system. Isn't problem there?

kungfooya Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I had the same problem and never got it working, even using the suggestions provided to you. Between that and usb troubles in 10.1, I got so tired of it i loaded 10 back up. jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethraza Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 After to compile the 2.6.10-1mdk kernel for me, I started to see this but only sometimes. When the error occurs, if I do as root #alsactl restore I see a error at some line controls. So I did a #rm /etc/asound.state and #alsactl store to create a new asound.state file. Done, if I do a alsactl restore now no error occur, in the boot will be the same. ps. Befor to do a store, configure the sound as you wish with kmix or something so you will store this configs. No need to go back to MDK10.0 only a little of patience needed. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never gotten an error from alsactl restore. I've deleted my asound.state file and stored properly configured values about 8 times now. about 9 out of every 10 reboots I still get the 1139 error, but can still get my SB Live! working again by using 'alsactl restore 0' (or manually unmuting/adjusting the card). If I compile SB Live! support directly in the kernel, I never have to see the error. BUT, I also get no /dev/dsp device or any other apparent way to access my microphone. :( -J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vladb Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 i'm experiencing the same problem too here, using a 10.1, my soundcard is detected normally using ALSA's snd-intel8x0 and has to be manually restored using 'alsactl restore' after booting to unmute it ! the same error log, /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1139: No soundards found.. in /var/log/messages checked the /etc/init.d/sound script, in function start_mixer() { if [ -d /proc/asound ] .... } i think that's the reason why alsactl can't find it's soundcard at boot-time (no /proc/asound), funny though, because the driver is loaded perfectly. i tried putting 'alsactl restore' at 'rc.local' but no luck, it still spits out the dreaded 'no soundcards found' !! *sigh* any enlightenment perhaps ?

Guest vladb Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 FIXED.. it's corrected in the 10.2 version, i just updated the udev and sound-script package ! and it worked flawlessly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
