 |
|
I have a user account in the sound group, however I still cannot adjust the volume in things like mplayer until I go to root and restart /etc/init.d/alsasound.
My sound card is:
| Code: | | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) |
My kernel features are:
| Code: |
<*> Sequencer support
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system
[*] OSS Sequencer API
[*] PCI sound devices --->
<*> Intel HD Audio --->
[*] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
[*] Aggressive power-saving on HD-audio
(5) Default time-out for HD-audio power-save mode
|
I would appreciate it if someone could help me figure this out, because it's starting to get a bit annoying having to constantly restart it after each reboot. Also, when I restart it, I get the following message:
| Code: | * Loading ALSA modules ...
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/ath_pci.conf line 19: ignoring bad line starting with 'rfkill=1' [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels ...
alsactl: set_control:1388: Cannot write control '2:0:0:PCM Playback Volume:0' : Operation not permitted [ ok ] |

i would try that :
rm /etc/asound.state
(well you can mv it elsewhere if you prefer keep a copy)
then when everything is working (when user can alter sound...) : alsactl store |

| Thanks for that suggestion. Before I did not even have an /etc/asound.state file. But upon running alsactl, now I do. Although after rebooting I still have the same issue where I have to restart alsasound for it to grant my user the right to change the pcm volume. |

| This problem seems to have went away on it's own after some of the recent emerge updates. |
