Hello guys, some days ago this begun to happen, and now this behaviour is repeating every day: When I reboot, sound is gone. I cannot change mixer settings. I'm using 2.4.22.2140 with ALSA This is how modules are when I log in: [surak@casa surak]$ lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted sd_mod 13452 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm-oss 44036 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm 84612 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 9396 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-timer 19300 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 15504 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 46116 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd- mixer-oss] soundcore 6500 0 (autoclean) [snd] Doing a modprobe snd-via82xx, this happens: [surak@casa surak]$ lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-via82xx 16992 0 snd-ac97-codec 57676 0 [snd-via82xx] gameport 3380 0 [snd-via82xx] snd-mpu401-uart 5072 0 [snd-via82xx] snd-rawmidi 18048 0 [snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 5976 0 [snd-rawmidi] sd_mod 13452 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-pcm-oss 44036 0 (autoclean) snd-pcm 84612 0 (autoclean) [snd-via82xx snd-pcm-oss] snd-page-alloc 9396 0 (autoclean) [snd-via82xx snd-pcm] snd-timer 19300 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm] snd-mixer-oss 15504 0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss] snd 46116 0 (autoclean) [snd-via82xx snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-mixer-oss]soundcore 6500 4 (autoclean) [snd] Now, sounds play through command-line play; Volume-applet is still gone, but if I right-click it and choose volume control, all the controls are there. If I log off and log in again, everything works, I just have to set volume up (the are all minimum and "mute" is enabled on the volume-applet). Here's my modules.conf, not to say I forgot to put it in here (hey it's 2.4) # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx # module options should go here # OSS/Free portion alias char-major-14 soundcore # card #1 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 8139too alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : -- []s Alexandre Ganso 500 FOUR vermelha - Diretor Steel Goose Moto Group
