The alsa daemon in rc.d already mentioned does that

]]>2) My audigy 2 value soundcard plays tons of bass all the time; it's like my sub's in overdrive. This definitely isn't due to the physical settings or alsamixer volumes, so is it a kernel bug related to the emu10k1 drivers it uses? If so, where would I find a patch, and how would I apply it?
I use an audigy 2 Z - I think - and have no issues with the kernel mod. But the first time I used it, I had noise problems, too. I found out that audigy uses a "record everything the user can hear" function. When I entered teamspeak channels, everyone asked me if I could stop this heavy metal background music. After I had disabled this function, everything was fine. I don't remember exactly, but I think in alsamixer this function hides behind one of the pcm channels. Are you sure it is nothing like that?
]]>I'm still seeking answers to my other questions - any help would be very appreciated.
Cheers guys.
]]>Add alsa into deamons in rc.conf file. Should work now.

]]>1) alsamixer won't store the sound settings - doing alsactl store doesn't make alsamixer retain its settings after the next reboot. Is something loading before it that shouldn't, or vice-versa? :shock:

3) How do I get numlock to turn on at boot-up?
4) How would I find the hex codes for the shortcut keys on my keyboard so that I can bind them to actions, and which file would I edit to perform the binding?
5) I've got a MySQL database installed; I've changed the root password for it, but when I installed the database, it told me i should also do a command along the lines of mysqladmin -r root -u teardrop 'password' (NOTE: I'm pretty sure the '-r' parameter I put there is wrong, but that's the gist of the command) to set the password, since my server name is teardrop. However, having done said command, I get an error message... I don't know whether or not I need to carry out this command, since the simpler command I first did to set the root password worked (mysqladmin -r root 'password' or something similar), and I am prompted for a password upon entering mysql -p into the terminal.
6) I tried to set up VNC in Arch and it failed spectacularly; is there either an easy-to-configure alternative, or a decent guide that someone has a link to? I looked in the archwiki, but was unable to find anything on the subject. :x
Cheers guys.
