Two things you should need: 1) the alsa drivers should get loaded 2) your alsa service should restore the right volume levels Are you starting up an alsa service at boot? My gentoo box has a service called alsasound that among other things, restores the mixer levels, which SHOULD persist through reboots. Mine are saved in /etc/asound.state. When the service goes down during shutdown, it saves the current settings to that file. I recommend poking around your /etc/init.d and seeing if there's a similar service you should enable. If your drivers aren't getting loaded, you need to make changes in /etc/modules.conf, or wherever your system expects you to put entries for loading modules at boot. AND for what it's worth, the alsa stuff should be independent of KDE / Gnome. To verify this, instead of a graphical login after you reboot, try logging in to a tty and playing an mp3 or something. -- David Backeberg (dave at math.mit.edu) Network Staff Assistant MIT Math Dept.
