2001-03-16 Thread Jeff Hornsberger
Okay. But if the 2.2.x tree used to support the card (mine was fine under RH 6.1 with kernel 2.2.12) then that functionality shouldn't have been removed for 2.2.17, should it? Could explain what you did to sb_card.c? I hope there's a better solution than kernel hacking, though! Thanks. -Jeff

Hi, I just moved over from RH and when I used gnome on there it used to save and restore my sound volume settings when I logged in and out. I sort of have that working in Debian (Woody), except it only restores my sound settings after I run the gnome mixer program once. When I reboot it resets the
