After suspending the notebook the kmix defaults are intermittently not restored and left at zero. I have had to unload the pcmcia & alsasound modules so that they both will work at all after resuming the box. Can someone please tell me what line in what config file may bring this all back to normal after resuming?? T/A -- ...CH SuSE On A Toshi Is All U Need 2 Drive U Crazy.
