Greetings and salutations PLUG members, I have had this small problem for a while. I have to run "alsaconf" every time my I boot up. Its really strange and other people have had this same problem (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=543664). I have updated my modules list (/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6) to reflect the correct sound card driver (snd_hda_intel). Still no luck. I have compiled this driver as part of the kernel and as a module. This really is just a big inconvenience. I am running Gento 2007.0 kernel 2.6.21 (and the Con Kolivas' patch) on a Thinkpad T60. lsmod before alsaconf snd_seq 40912 0 snd_seq_device 6156 1 snd_seq snd_hda_intel 15384 0 snd_hda_codec 194816 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 54276 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 16516 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 7304 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm lsmod after alsaconf snd_pcm_oss 32544 0 snd_mixer_oss 13056 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 40912 0 snd_seq_device 6156 1 snd_seq snd_hda_intel 15384 0 snd_hda_codec 194816 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 54276 3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 16516 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 7304 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm If you need anything else let me know I appreciate any help. I generally don't like to ask these kinds of questions, because I know its something really stupid that I just missed or that I failed to read. Thank you much.
