Hello,

I’m having a problem trying to have sound setup automatically at a desired volume during startup because it begin a volume zero. I have to change it using Yast. Could anyone help please? Tha output is below,

andreltr@linux:~> dmesg | grep intel

I note you already have a thread on this problem, or is this a different computer?
Sound & alsaconf - openSUSE Forums
Please do not start a new thread on such problems (if it is the same PC) as it is very confusing and can result in duplicated and wasted effort.

I gave 2 recommendations in that previous thread as a work around, … did you try BOTH of them together ? ie
rcalsasound restart
as a line in your /etc/init.d/boot.local

and also adjust your audio to the volume level you like, and then run
su -c ‘alsactl store’ #and enter root password

… and then reboot to test your audio levels?

We need more information to try understand why you have all those entries in your dmesg? Can you reboot, and then immediately after a reboot, provide the entire dmesg contents. Please do that by copy and pasting the following into a gnone-terminal or a kde konsole:
dmesg > dmesg.txt && curl -F file=@dmesg.txt nopaste.com/a

Also, with your sound working, and with your PC connected to the internet copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

When the script completes it will pass you a URL. Please post that URL here.

Are you using an ndiswrapper for a wireless device?

Also, please copy and paste the following into a gnome-terminal or konsole and post the output here.rpm -qa | grep alsa
rpm -qa | grep pulse
rpm -q libasound2
uname -a
cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound

Done!

Pleaseread the following thread post.

Why did you paste an extract of the dmesg? The curl command is designed to post it on a web site, and give you a URL. Why not just post the URL ?

or if you do not have access to Internet on that PC, simply copy it to a text file, and paste the contents of a text file to a site such as: general pastebin - no posts to display and post here the URL.

A URL takes up far less space than posting most of the contents of the dmesg.

By posting the way you have, it makes this thread extremely difficult to read. :frowning:

This is a problem. You have two alsa drivers installed. You should NOT install both. Remove alsa-driver-unstable-kmp-default.

Also, where is the output URL from this:

wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

I need the information that if I am to make any effort at helping.

Since you have updated to 1.0.18, you can also try running that from
/usr/sbin/alsa-info.sh

It appears to me you have more than one problem. For example, I see this in your dmesg:

ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-unstable/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:2068: AC'97 0 does not respond - RESET
ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-unstable/pci/ac97/ac97_codec.c:2077: AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer.
ALSA /usr/src/packages/BUILD/alsa-driver-unstable/pci/intel8x0.c:2348: Unable to initialize codec #0

which indicates the alsa-driver-unstable is causing problems. As I already noted, you need to remove that.

I suspect, thou, it will take more effort to solve your problem.
