Hi, Suse 9.1, KDE 3.3, Sound card SB Live 5.1, using ALSA. Since i've updated my 9.1 to KDE 3.3 from the Suse DTP site, I have to "su" and run "alsactl restore 0" to get sound. Prior to this update to KDE it always worked fine. I've placed this command in the "/etc/init.d/boot.local" but that does not seem to do the trick. What i have done:- Run "alsamixer" to get the sound as I want it. Run "alsactl store 0" (as "su") Reboot. Run "alsactl restore 0" (as "su") and the settings are restored The "asound.state" file is - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42230 2004-08-27 22:43 /etc/asound.state I've also tried using "kamix" - i can set the sound for the session ok but on reboot, the settings are back to zero Any pointers would be welcome. thanks Ian
