Alsa is muted after every restart/reload [solved]

[Nik123]

Hallo all! Today I met the next problem in mandriva 2007 sunna- after every restart/reload (service alsa force-reload command, or just reboot) the system tray icon appears that the volume is muted, and I have no sound. I fix it manually, but after restart it is again muted. I use GNOME 2.16, alsa module is via82xx. It is so disgusting, can anyone help me to fix that problem?

 

Edit: I have configured ALSA with alsaconf

Have you launched "alsactl store" as root after you configured your sound? And check if ALSA is loaded as system service on boot. (use e.g. the MCC to check the services that will be launched at boot)

Yes, I launched alsactl store as root, but it doesn't seem to take any effect- still muted after reload/reboot. ALSA is starting on boot, according to MCC. Any other ideas?

Please post the output of the terminal command

I solved the problem, by now, after reboot everything is fine, but thank you for the help! Here is the way: Mandriva 2007 sunna doesn't contain alsa-utils and aumix packages, after I installed them from the Cooker, there is no mute after reboot. For any others, who can meet that problem: Install aumix and alsa-utils, then select ALSA mixer from Volume Control, then from Preferences menu in Gnome (I do not know for KDE)-Sound- select in Devices menu module for your card (not ALSA or OSS)- in my machine the right choice is VIA8233A, between of the entries of ALSA and OSS. Then configure the volume, run "alsactl store" as root, and everything will be OK- no "mute" for the volume after reboot. Regards to all!
