No sound after reboot - how can I manage that without alsaconf?
After a reboot, on my system there often is no sound at all, or it is on
the first (onboard) soundcard. I normally use the second one.
Until now, I managed this by running - as root - alsaconf. However, this
is not good because:
- when kernel 2.6.30-1 is running, there always is no sound at all, and
alsaconf finds no soundcards. It only works with kernel 2.6.26-2
- alsaconf only is available when downgrading package alsa-utils from
testing to lenny.
How can I manage it without alsaconf?
