Which init script in /etc/rc.d/ or /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is the one responsible for loading of sound settings? Is it /etc/rc.d/init.d/nasd Network Audio System Daemon if it is, then it should have # Load mixer settings, where for the lack of a place in initscripts? grep -q "\(alsa\)" /proc/devices if [ $? = 0 -a -x /sbin/salsa ]; then action $"Loading mixer settings" /sbin/salsa -l fi which complements the section in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt procedure/script # Save mixer settings, here for lack of a better place. grep -q "\(alsa\)" /proc/devices if [ $? = 0 -a -x /sbin/salsa ]; then action $"Saving mixer settings" /sbin/salsa -s fi Finding out, will fix the Bugzilla #247468.
