It could be some kind of deadlock caused by /etc/init.d/alsasound [start|stop] and|or a stale lock-file. When you call "alsasound start" on system startup it reads the settings from /etc/asound.state. When you call "alsasound stop" on shutdown it writes the settings to /etc/asound.state. As long as you don't pull the levels up while alsasound is running AND save them to /etc/asound.state you'll get the former state (nothing) on the next reboot. so try while the sytem is running: 1. /etc/init.d/alsasound stop (ignore possible error messages) 2. delete /var/lock/subsys/alsasound if it's still there 3. /etc/init.d/alsasound start (should not complain now) 4. copy /etc/asound.state to /etc/asound.start 5. pull up the levels if that's possible (amix, aumix, alsamixer) 6. /etc/init.d/alsasound stop 7. copy /etc/asound.state to /etc/asound.stop 8. compare those two .start-.stop-files - the settings must now be different. If not there's either a mistake in the script or alsasound isn't working at all 9./etc/init.d/alsasound start If I remember correctly my asound.state file was never written or written on the wrong place or I had a stale /var/lock/subsys/alsasound. hope it helps, wum -- 100% Maycrashsoft free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
