I have a similar problem. After I restart my computer xmms says that there isn't a soundcard. So: 1. I have to execute ./snddevices 2. Then, run alsa-config 3. Then run alsamixer (to unmute)
And then I have sound again. Any suggestions to avoid having to go through this process? Cheers, -Cisco On 1/5/07, Andrei Popescu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
