[SOLVED] alsactl FAIL in boot.

Hi, today when I started the laptop I don't have sound on my laptop and I rebooted. When the operative system was loading ALSA show the next error:

alsactl: load_state:1625: No soundcards found...
[FAIL]

Somebody can help me with the problem?

My sound card is a Intel integrated. I'm use Gnome 3 desktop environment. Since I installed Arch Linux I haven't had any problems with audio, only today.

Thanks and regards.

Re: [SOLVED] alsactl FAIL in boot.

I too have occassionally encountered alsactl issues upon booting after an upgrade. It seems on occassion the asound.state file gets corrupted during an update of some kind.

The solution is simple. Re-create your asound.state file.

# alsamixer

Re-set your default volume levels.

# alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store

Settings have now been saved.

# alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore

Tests to ensure the file is valid and can be loaded.

Providing you do not get any errors here, all should now be well!

Cheers.

Re: [SOLVED] alsactl FAIL in boot.

Hi, I uses "alsamixer" and when I used "alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store" and "alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore" this is the result:

 [root@Arch ~]# alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store
alsactl: save_state:1519: No soundcards found...
[root@Arch ~]# alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state restore
alsactl: load_state:1625: No soundcards found...

Re: [SOLVED] alsactl FAIL in boot.

Perhaps try ....alsaconf...to detect your sound card...

Then verify that the sound card is utilized in alsamixer.
