ALSA behavior

[Stone.Giant]

I already issued this problem in Seamonkey thread. I want some definite closure about this issue so I post a separate thread. Here is my problem: My alsa only works when I popped up first the alsamixergui then needed to execute first these following commands even though I already have alsaconfig at onboot.lst

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound startso that i can execute

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ speaker-test [-Ddefault:1] -c2 -t wav -l1
else, it will return an error if the exact order of procedure did not meet, or i insert the alsasound start at bootlocal.sh

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start
/usr/local/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1729: No soundcards found...
Something went wrong, sound was not set up.


alsamixer:function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

You mean  alsa-config.tcz ?

Maybe your sound card needs some time to initiate. You could try starting ALSA delayed with  sleep :

Code: [Select]

sleep 5 && /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound start &
bootlocal.sh runs as root. No need for sudo.

If sound is working and channels have been un-muted, do this:

Code: [Select]

sudo alsactl store
filetool.sh -b
Then check if things work after reboot.

Nope it failed mate, placing alsasound start at bootlocal.sh did just return an error and cannot pop up the alsamixergui.

Does your soundcard need a driver that isn't getting loaded, therefore not able to initiate it?

Idk. BTW my soundcard is SigmaTel STAC9752,53. I think it uses AC '97 in Windows

Also I noticed that my PS2 mouse is not working on first boot, I had to reboot my PC to make it work. WWW?
