Reinstalled Arch, sound works but not when I login

colbert · 2008-02-04 02:11:24

Hey guys I just reinstalled Arch, card has worked fine before (M-Audio Revolution 7.1). It works fine now, too, as I have a little "welcome.wav" file that plays when I reach GDM on boot, and it plays just fine but as soon as I log in I can't get any sound. I am in the audio group:

Also here is lsmod output so you can see that it certainly works:

Any ideas???

Nevermind, I have no idea but it just started to work after a few reboots and when I remembered to move my .asoundrc over.

You need to store the alsa "state" once (alsactl) before using the alsa daemon for this task.
That caused me some confusion recently as well.
