Systemd alsa-store and alsa-restore in the wiki

Hi. I searched for information on unmuting sound on (gdm) startup. I found the suggestion to enable alsa-store.service and alsa-restore.service in archlinux wiki. But my system says, they have no install section. I will search for more information on this topic and suggest a change, when i am enlightened. But perhaps you are already and can mage some changes to that section.

Cheers

This may be a stupid question, but do you have alsa-utils installed?

The alsa-utils package includes alsa-restore.service and alsa-store.service, which are preconfigured to run at boot and shutdown respectively.

where exactly in the wiki does it say to enable alsa-store.service and alsa-restore.service? This doesn't make sense because it is simply not necessary (that's also why you get the "no [Install] section" error).

You are right to wonder. It seems to have been the german version of the alsa wiki entry. (https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Alsa#So … rte_testen)

Those items are activated by other means, then? The store, if you want to save your setup manually and the restore unit will automatically set audio on reboot, then?

I get in touch with the german archlinux, then.
