Hello All
On this workstation here at work I never log out from Monday morning to
Friday evening, sometimes longer, but still every morning when I come in I
have to run alsamixer to unmute and bring up the volume on my sound card.
What can I do to keep alsa from "timing out" like this? This is an
intel8x0 chipset that otherwise works fine.
Thanks - JB

sounds like your alsa drivers are getting autocleaned maybe
oh rats too early, can't remember how to check for/fix that...someone will
chime in, hopefully...

Caveat: if alsaconf succeded in configuring your soundcard and you want
your sound modules to stay loaded at all times add these couple of lines
at the very end of the /etc/modules.conf file that was changed by alsaconf:
# -- Keep modules from being autocleaned
add options -k snd-card-0
RedHat has an autoclean process that runs every 10 minutes and removes
kernel modules that have not been used for a while.

Cool - thanks for the response. This is Slack 9.0 and I wrote the
modules.conf file according to the ALSA docs. I added that line and will
see if it works after the next module reload.

An alternative (sexier?) method would be to configure kmod to save
configuration information and reload it. Appending this to
modules.conf should work:
pre-remove snd snd-ice1712 alsactl store
post-install snd-ice1712 alsactl restore
Replace snd-ice1712 above with whatever the name of your particular
sound modules is, and you should be set.
