After booting I get no sound.
If I run system-config-soundcard I then get sound (although no changes to /etc/modprobe.conf).
If I then reboot, I get no sound again.
I'm losing the configuration somewhere.
Okay, try the following. Cut out the "class: AUDIO" block from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf, then run /usr/sbin/kudzu as root user. That should detect your soundcard again and give the chance to configure it.
I deleted the AUDIO blocks and ran kudzu again. It put identical blocks back. One for snd-intel8x0 and one for nvsound (remembering that nvsound isn't installed anymore - must be a remnant somewhere).
Unfortunately no difference. Still have to run system-config-soundcard each time I boot.
If kudzu didn't call the s-c-s backend which entered alsactl entries into modprobe.conf, I'm at a loss.
You could enter them manually and run "alsamixer ; /usr/sbin/alsactl store", though:
install YOURDRIVERHERE /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install YOURDRIVERHERE && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove YOURDRIVERHERE { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove YOURDRIVERHERE
Thanks for taking the time with this.
My current modprobe.conf is:
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 options ne irq=10 alias eth0 nvnet alias usb-interface usb-ohci # ALSA portion alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 install snd-card-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-card-0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-card-0
I've manually stored the settings as you suggested (using alsactl to create /etc/asound.state) but still the same problem.
On reboot no sound. No CD; No xmms; No system sounds.
After soundcard detection then system sounds and xmms but still no CD.
Can you just confirm that running system-config-soundcard should modify the content of /etc/modprobe.conf? It doesn't on my system. Maybe linked in with the settings vanishing on reboot.
Do you know what system-config-soundcard does exactly?
Also notived a happy side effect that although the system sounds and xmms work fine (once I've re-run s-c-c), the cd player (gnome-cd) is silent. I've looked at alsamix and gnome-volume-control and both refect each other and seem ok.
XMMS comes with a CD player plugin which can read audio CDs digitally. That doesn't need a cable between CD drive and sound chipset.
I can live without the CD player, but it *was* working before upgrading from RH9 to FC2.
