Re: sound card works but not when rebooting

And how you get to run it again?
In knowing that may lay the solution...

Re: sound card works but not when rebooting

check in rc.conf and see if your sound module isn't listed. Odd that it doesn't find your sound card on boot.

U may also need to run alsactl store as root. Permission problem, possibly?

sounds like alsaconfig is finding and loading the module each time u reboot, but its not being loaded because I think u need to run alsactl store as root, since it needs to be loaded by the kernel. That would require root privileges I would think. That's my best guess.

Re: sound card works but not when rebooting

i never added the sound module to rc.conf
i load all modules with udev
i never read anywhere that adding the sound module to rc.conf was needed
