Computer start up sound

was reading another thread in this section about a computer sound playing right as the tty comes up. the systemd route didn't work for me. instead, i installed the rc-local aur package. then place:

aplay /usr/local/share/sounds/com_start.wav &> /dev/null

inside /etc/rc.local

works perfect. hope this helps anyone.

Re: Computer start up sound

The systemd route didn't work, so you chose an empty script that's being called by systemd?

Have a look at the service file to figure out why this "systemd route" of yours didn't work. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … h=rc-local
