Hello,
How come I have to run alsaconf every time I reboot my notebook (Toshiba A60) please?
Thanks,
André Luiz
I’ve seen users who are using ndiswrapper have this problem (where the wrapper interfers with the loading of the alsa module upon boot).
Try this instead.
Reboot your laptop. Then as soon as it has booted successfully, open a gnome-terminal or a kde konsole and type:**su -c ‘rcalsasound restart’**and test your audio. If it works, put “rcalsasound restart” (no quotes) as the last line in your /etc/init.d/boot.local file.
Hello,
The command rcalsasound does not exist. How to install it please?
Thanks,
André Luiz
If you have alsa installed, then you have rcalsasound. I just tested this view (of mine by typing):rpm -qa --filesbypkg | grep rcalsaand it came back with:
alsa /usr/sbin/rcalsasound
which shows that rcalsasound is inside the rpm “alsa” in the directory /usr/sbin. Note rcalsasound is a shell script, and you need root permissions to run it.
I suspect you either:
a. made a syntax mistake in typing the command EXACTLY as I recommended, or
b. you inadvertently removed alsa.
What is the output of:rpm -qa | grep alsa
and the command again to send is su -c 'rcalsasound restart’NOTE the single quotation around ‘rcalsasound restart’. You must include that.
Hello,
Thanks for your help! Works perfectly however both volumes startup at zero level. How could I make the system boot up and volume levels automatically be set up at 75% for instance please?
Thanks,
André Luiz
I take it then you have “rcalsasound restart” in your /etc/init.d/boot.local file, and when you boot your PC, your volume levels are at zero level? …
IF that is the case, then adjust your sound levels the way you like. Then with the appropriate sound level in place, open a Gnome-terminal or a kde konsole and type:su -c 'alsactl store’and enter root password when prompted (for a password), and that should (hopefully) store your current alsa settings, such that they are at the appropriate level when you restart.
Hello,
I’ve applied this command and it did not change the condition.
Sincerely,
André Luiz
