That's a new one on me, but it is in Slackware 14 and does work. Since it's new to me, I don't know if he has that in Slack 12. > You might have to install alsa-utils first I'm certain at least part ( probably all ) of that is in Slack 12. > On 13/08/14 16:46, David Weber wrote: > > I can login.

( personally, I prefer rexima but to each his own ) Then you run alsactl store to write them into /var/lib/alsa/asound.state so that the daemon restores them on reboot. My backup from Slackware 12 is only partial, since I moved to Slack 14 some time ago, but there is no asound.conf A little ( very little ) research suggests Slackware ( any version ) does not have or use an asound.conf, since it's not required to use alsa at all, except to modify the default/master/stored asound settings on a per-need basis, such as when starting bluetooth. ( if you use bluetooth ) There is an asound.state and /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa does reference the existence of /etc/asound.state which is a symlink to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state That file is created by the command alsactl store and will then contain the current state of the alsa sound settings. File formatting suggests that asound.state is what everyone else calls asound.conf. Since it's a variable, Slackware keeps it in /var/lib/alsa/ ( var's should go in /var wouldn't you think ? ) Basically, you run alsamixer and set up the sound card settings. Then you run alsactl store to write them into asound.state so that the daemon restores them on reboot. Kill the KDE artsd sound controller, and you should be good to go. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Conscience is a mother-in-law whose visit never ends. -- H. L.
