Not sure what I need to do to fix this.. I built in my alsa driver into the kernel, thinking maybe alsa-utils will fix it. However my issue is simply that on reboot, Alsa doesn't save the mixer state. On boot all channels are muted and at 0.
Thx in advance.

If you have alsa-utils installed (sounds like you do) do you have the alsasound init script added to the boot runlevel?
EDIT: Also make sure that you have it configured to save and restore the settings.
| Code: | /home/bubba $ cat /etc/conf.d/alsasound
# ENABLE_OSS_EMUL:
# Do you want to enable in-kernel oss emulation?
# no - Do not load oss emul drivers
# yes - Load oss emul drivers if they're found
ENABLE_OSS_EMUL="yes"
# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings? If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state
RESTORE_ON_START="yes"
# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state
SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"

no i don't.. lol..
i had issues with it before when i built the module into my kernel, in that it complains it can't find the sound module to load. Obviously because there's no module.
Was this a bug? I'll emerge alsa-utils now.
EDIT: I should also note that for some reason in my last install without alsa-utils, somehow my mixer levels were being saved anyway. |

You can have kernel based Alsa, but you sould configure it all as modules if you are going to use the alsasound init script. You then would need to configure /etc/modules.d/alsa appropriately.
