I have always had problems with Alsa and/or Kde in one way or a nother,I have got down to this - in /etc/rc.d/rc.local I placed
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
and it starts sound to hear 'kde-startup.wav' while booting Kde,
then when the Kde desktop activates the 'kde-startup.wav' stops before completion and the mixers are then all at 'zero' requiring me to run
'alsactl restore'
before I get any sound back. Is there any way to have alsactl restore run when the desktop activates.
2.6.8-1 KDE 3.3.0
