I found that /etc/init.d/alsa-utils was setting up my soundcard badly. I take it it got in a bad state somehow and that was saved on shutdown and that script tries to restore it. Not sure how to stop it running so I just removed it and everything is working ok. It still happens sometimes after playing a ddvd but a restart fixes it.
Only problem was the volume was always set to zero on restart so I created my own custom script to do this: /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'IEC958',0 Playback on /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'IEC958 Output',0 Playback on /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'IEC958 Playback AC97-SPSA',0 0 /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'VIA DXS',0 Playback 30 /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'Master',0 Playback on /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'Master',0 Playback 25 /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'PCM',0 Playback on /usr/bin/amixer -c0 sset 'PCM',0 Playback 25 HTH, Adam -- Alsa loses AC'97 SPDIF output in Feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
