    Question ALSA issue: Have to run alsaconf after every reboot

    Hi,

    I recompiled my kernel to 2.6.22 and alsa to 1.0.14.

    Now, after a successful booting, I have no sound. I have to run alsaconf after every boot to get my sound working.

    As work around, I tried "alsactl store" when my sound gets working and later tried to restore it after a boot. But this didn't work for me, though it works for most of other users.

    I have alsasound init script properly set for runlevel 0,2,6 and I use 2 as my default runlevel.

    What should I do to solve it? Please help.

    Alsa detect your sound card and insert the required module for it.

    so if you know what alsa detect for you , you can edit the /etc/init.d/rc.local and put a line like:
    modprobe (your sound module name) .

    these modules are located in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/sound

    There's one way to check - Pipe the output from lsmod to a file before and after alsaconf runs and compare it.
    Code:
    lsmod > ~/modules_before_alsaconf
    alsaconf
    lsmod ~/modules_after_alsaconf
