<p>Drhouse: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Category:Tutorials]]<br /> <br /> Sound problems *should* be rare these days, and of the ones that still exist, they are likely related to suspend/resume. Those are driver issues which are largely out of your control, but see the documentation with the pm-utils package for details on handling those issues.<br /> <br /> : &lt;code&gt;alsaconf&lt;/code&gt; used to be needed to set up sound cards in linux, but even that shouldn't be needed in recent linux distributions - everything should be handled automatically.<br /> <br /> : &lt;code&gt;alsamixer&lt;/code&gt; can be used to change the volume.<br /> <br /> : &lt;code&gt;alsactl store&lt;/code&gt; is used to save the volume settings.<br /> <br /> : &lt;code&gt;alsactl restore&lt;/code&gt; is used to restore the volume settings. This is automatically run on boot, so you usually won't need to run this command.<br /> <br /> There is one tip for the Sound Baster 5.1 cards: sometimes you want to MUTE digital out so you can hear on all the speakers; in alsamixer, you just press M on the &lt;tt&gt;Analog/Digital Output Jack&lt;/tt&gt; item.<br /> <br /> For change boot ordering for your sound cards just create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and put these lines into it: <br /> <br /> : &lt;code&gt;options snd-hda-intel index=0&lt;/code&gt;<br /> : &lt;code&gt;options snd-usb-audio index=1&lt;/code&gt;<br /> <br /> Replace 'snd-hda-intel' to your card module</div>
