The problem is (aside from the audio mixer being gone) that after I reboot, the sound stops working again (and the audio mixer widget comes back) and I have to run alsaconf to get sound working again. Any ideas on what's going on? |
I've seen this happen when the loading of a PC's wireless at boot interfers with the loading of the alsa sound driver.
After a fresh reboot, what happens if instead of running alsaconf, you type in a gnome-terminal or kde konsole:
su -c 'rcalsasound restart' and enter root password when prompted for a password ?
If that works, then to have that run everytime at boot, edit your /etc/init.d/boot.local file, adding at the end the line:
rcalsasound restart
You can edit that file by typing
- in gnome: gnomesu 'gedit /etc/init.d/boot.local'
- in kde: kdesu 'kwrite /etc/init.d/boot.local'
in both cases typing the root password when prompted for a password.
