I'm the kind of guy who turns off his machine at night (mostly because the wife is worried about electric bills, though). After I boot up the machine, I can't play any sound until I first start gmixer (I've tried using amixer instead, but it always barfs). After I start gmixer, everything is copacetic. I can even log out and log back in and sound is in good working order.
This being the case, I'm guessing that I can put something in my startup scripts (that isn't there now) that will get this sorted out for me and I can finally remove the mixer applet from my gnome-toolbar. I've got an AC '97 on-board via82xx-based chip set that runs with the ALSA drivers. Thanks for any pointers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
