assuming pmsuspend is related to the suspend.sh script from swsusp page, you should look at the /etc/suspend.conf (or whatever it's been renamed) and tell it that you want to restart sound during the cycle.

RE: [Cooker] ACPI Commands
I didn't have to take out that part of the append. I was just laying out my game plan. Should have been more clear on that. I didn't realize that after a resume has been performed, it no longer saves the data. I have since readded the append command and left it there, trying to see if my problem was a fluke or just doesn't work properly on my system. I will do more testing with it later. I had Windows flashbacks of getting stuck in endless loop of resuming if the system crashed for some reason, so I did that step out of haste. Sorry. Thanks for clearing all this up for us...

Jack When running pmsuspend there is some text in the bottom left hand corner 'Swsusp beta 17' . It is in a package called suspend-scripts. Looks like the mandrake guys have renamed it to /etc/sysconfig/suspend. There is an option RESTORE_SOUND, which by default is set to no; I set it to yes and added my sound card module (snd-via82xx) to the line below: SOUND_MODULES=sb uart401 sound soundcore maestro cs4281 And then sound would work after a suspend, it was still necessary to start aumix and set up the volumes. Any ideas on how to retain sound levels across alsa restarts ? It should obviously work, as there is no problem between reboots. Any ideas anyone. Chmouel, maybe you wouldn't mind just adding in the snd-via82xx module to SOUND_MODULES= by default?

BTW, the link to the webpage given by Jack to handy ACPI client: http://grahame.ucc.asn.au/acpi.shtml seems dead. Anyway, tried the commands. Did something but I'm not sure what. My usb devices no longer worked and the whole system seemed jerky. It also logged me out of root. So, having not worked, I rebooted. I guess I can just live with the battery monitor for now. On my IBM Thinkpad 600X (this series is about 3 years old), the gnome battery monitor works with acpi (by default, no config necessary etc), and after some fiddling, kacpi works ok for me too. Just had to add a few modules to /etc/modules (battery, ac, thermal etc), since I am sticking with rc1 until rc2 is out ... pwsuspend just told me to boot with an extra arg to lilo, but did nothing else ...
