Do you have both kmix and kamix installed. IIRC, there was a problem with 9.1 and both installed. There is a workaround, but it is easiest to uninstall kmix, which fixes it. It has been a while, you might want to search the archives.
Both kmix and kamix show up in my KDE menu, and both can be run. But YAST only shows kamix. Odd. Just for the heck of it, I tried uninstalling kamix, but it didn't do any good.
I said to uninstall kmix, not kamix. IIRC, there is an article in the
Yes, you did, but YAST didn't provide a way to do this. I *did* say that I only tried uninstalling kamix just to see what would happen. It's easy enough to put back.
support database on this. Try searching for kmix. I did it for you. check http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/05/thallma_91_sndsilence.html
I did find that using 'alsactl restore' after a reboot would bring back my External Amp, so 'alsactl store' is definitely recording my settings somewhere. But something, maybe in KDE, is apparently always forcing the EA off on boot. Maybe the easiest way to handle this is to write a script that gets run on every boot (or login?) to do the 'alsactl restore' command. Any thougts?
Follow the instructions in the article.
Ah! That explains why I couldn't uninstall kmix from YAST -- it's not *called* kmix! Hm... re-installed kamix, uninstalled kmix, everything worked fine up to that point, but where the article calls for 'kamix &' bash keeps calling it an unrecognized command. But even without that, my sound problem is now fixed -- my External Amplifier stays on during reboots. So everything's good. Thank you!
