Re: restarting sound

Rick Pasotto ask;
How can I restart sound without rebooting the whole machine?

---

If your using Alsa, there is an alsa-utils file in /etc/init.d/

# /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

Should do something for you, may also use commands stop / start instead of restart if you want to say stop the service, wait a minute and then start it, might help ensure everything goes down and up properly.

If your using other sound damon (e.g. OSS or Pulse) they may have some form of file in the init.d file you can issue commands through

# ls /etc/init.d/


Good Luck;
