ALSA sound volume is saved on shutdown, and restored on bootup. Try removing the /etc/asound.state file, reboot the machine, and then modify the volume (unmute what needs to be unmuted) in alsa-mixer. From then on, the volume level will be the same. If when you rise the volume for all those tracks, the volume is still low, it's possible that the bug is in the driver. Could you let me know the result of those tests? I have tried deleting /etc/asound.state many times before performing the fix described above commenting out the lines in /etc/modprobe.conf. It made no difference. To satisfy the request I have done this once more, this time with the mods shown in the recommendations in my original message commenting out the lines in /etc/modprobe.conf. Yes it saves the state, but it did before that too. Commenting the lines in /etc/modprobe.conf is the first permanent fix I have found for this problem. > and restarting the alsasound daemon.

Why does the explanation show "snd-cmpci" instead of "snd-intel8x0" as the driver? > Those lines look like they are pointing to "/dev/null" which would > keep your sound from working. No, they mean that the output for alsactl restore goes to /dev/null, not your sound... If the sound is too low, increase it using the mixer. I don't see what else can be done in software (ie. make sure you're using the speaker output, not the headphones output). |
