Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 236843
default soundcard not preserved across reboot
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:34 EDT
(Please assign to new component if necessary; I just took a guess.) Accorrding to system-config-soundcard, I have three audio devices on my computer -- a USB device corresponding to my Logitech QuickCam PRO, a VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller, and a Conexant CX8801 TV tuner audio channel. Whenever I reboot, my default audio device for playback gets set to the Conexant device. This, despite the fact that I've set the default device to the VIA device, and despite the fact that aplay -l says that the VIA device is the only one capable of playback. I'm pretty sure that the default device that I set with system-config-soundcard should be preserved across a reboot, shouldn't it?
I have two sound cards : VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) I also encounter the bug of the default card not saved across reboot. But in my case, the pcm devices of the default card is sometimes missed and i have to reboot to get it load. I also have the bug on FC6. (actually running both fc7T3 and fc6 will all the available updates - i386)
Please attach /root/scsconfig.log (it can be generated by system-config-soundcard, in the "System" tab)

Yep, it's known bug. Should be slightly fixed in F7, there's a workaround in system-config-soundcard when you rewrite all sound config files.
btw. this feature is on the "System" tab and you should have plugged all your audio devices.
btw. try to modify your lines in /etc/modprobe.conf for any of your sound card: alias snd-card-X snd-card-driver options snd-card-driver index=X where X is the card index and snd-card-driver is the sound card driver.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking me or telling me to do.
If you'd like to fix your issue, attach all your soundcard to your box, run system-config-soundcard and check if all your sound devices are detected properly. If so, switch to "System" tab (in s-c-s) and choose "Rewrite sound config files" (the last button on the page) and reboot your box. Or you can do it by hand via. editing the /etc/modprobe.conf file. if it doesn't help, post a note here.
