crazyspongebob Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 I have a Prostar laptop with Mandrake 10 download version. Last night, when I turned my laptop on, it just hung at "Doing alsactl to restore mixer settings..." So I booted the laptop into failsafe mode and then went into /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ to remove to scripts that started the soundcard. This made my computer have no sound. So, today I log in as root and run alsaconf to reconfigure the soundcard, and it just hangs at the above mentioned message. I had had sound before. The soundcard is as SIS with ALSA trident driver. any suggestion? J.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 at bootup, press ctrl+c and continue booting. then update your system with the latest patches (easyurpmi) if possible. are there any error logs with useful information (e.g. in /var/logs)?

It's just that the box was working 2 days ago with no problem. As I said in the last message, I went into /etc/rc.d/rc5.d and removed to links related to sound scripts, and the system started fine. I found some odd entries in /var/log/messages regarding alsa. The following is part of /var/log/messages regarding alsa.

My laptop has SIS 630 chipset and 7018 PCI audio. Now even after detecting the sound driver as snd-trident, draksound hangs. Update: I used harddrake to configure the soundcard in Xwindows. This time I use trident driver not snd-trident, and I have sound. However, the kmixer is no longer loading when I log into Xwindows. J.T.
