Do you mean no sound until you fiddle with any settings (configurations, or just user controls like volume), or that you expect some sound to play as you login? (Not my area, but clarifying such things might help someone else answer you.) > Today I muted the Front bar, and then unmuted it, > and sound started working. Perhaps it's starting up in a muted condition? I seem to recall something like that with alsa (yonks ago), that by default some volume controls were off, and your last used settings weren't being used then restored after logoff and reboot. > Someone mentioned trying something like "cat foo.ogg > /dev/dsp". > In my case, when sound is working this produces a white noise. > Is this testing the sound driver > (in my case snd_intel8x0 , I assume) directly? If you catted a raw audio format, rather than a compressed one, to the sound device, you ought to hear sound. Hearing garbage isn't really going to prove much. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
