Re: [newbie] No sound

Found a workaround in a post somewhere:

edit /etc/asound.state - find the section that looks like:

   control.33 {
   comment.access 'read write'
   comment.type BOOLEAN
   iface MIXER
   name 'External Amplifier Power Down'
   value true
   }

and change "true" to false, then run

alsactl restore

That restores sound for the remainder of the login session. But each time I log in again, the sound gets muted during the KDE startup process and I have to run "alsactl restore" to restore sound.

How can I make this fix permanent?

thanks,

Thanks Kaj,

But alsamixer does not indicate any problem or muted audio. No manner of fiddling with the levels will get me any sound...

Greetings,
I have a problem with the sound system on my HP nx5000 laptop
with Mandrake 10.0 CE (kernel 2.6.3-7). The driver  module is
loaded OK (snd-intel8x0) and the config indicates an operational
sound system.
This particular laptop has a button on the front which (in
Windows) mutes the sound when pressed. It also lights up in red.
When Mandrake 10.0 is running, the mute button is lit. It lights
up during the boot process when ALSA is started, so somehow it
seems that the Mandrake sound system is muting the audio.
I can find nowhere in the system settings where there is any
indication of muted volume; the master setting is at 70%.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

Regards,
In KDE, K-->Multimedia-->Sound-->KMix | Alsamixer-GUI
Or : from a CLI : aumix.
Or : from a CLI : sndconfig
Assuming, of course, that you have those rpm's installed.
I guess it's best to run as root.
