My Distro: Xubuntu Jaunty x64 For details about the startup scripts: http://linux.com/news/enterprise/systems-management/8116-an-introduction-to-services-runlevels-and-rcd-scripts This is a tool you can use to change the startup scripts, easier than manually changing links: man update-rc.d I solved the problem by removing the links to the /etc/init.d/alsa-utils script from the rc*.d directories. Then adding links to the alsa-utils script to rc2.d and rcS.d Here are the commands I used to get this to work: sudo update-rc.d -f alsa-utils remove sudo update-rc.d alsa-utils start 50 2 S . Before: /etc/rc0.d/K50alsa-utils /etc/rc2.d/S50alsa-utils /etc/rc6.d/K50alsa-utils After: /etc/rc2.d/S50alsa-utils /etc/rcS.d/S50alsa-utils See attachment for comments/details, and a output from a sample run on my system. ** Attachment added: "update-rc.d_start_alsa-utils.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/29585090/update-rc.d_start_alsa-utils.txt -- [Jaunty] Sound card outputs start muted after recent updates to use pulseaudio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
