Hi all,
Recently I upgraded from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 2 and since the
sound card has been reset to mute on restart.
I've google this as found that I should set my default volumes etc and
run alsactl store. I did this and and now when I restart if I run
alsactl restore my sounds work but not automatically.
Further googling told me that the following lines in my modprobe.conf
are used to restore the alsa configuration.
install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install
snd-card-0 && { /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; } ;
/sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-card-0
Can anyone explain exactly what they are doing and why they don't work
