I can't confirm that the problem is in the udev rule. I manually created: $ cd /etc/rc2.d $ sudo ln -s ../init.d/alsa-utils S40alsa-utils
so now alsa-utils is always called at boot time. However, the mixer is still muted when I go into GNOME. -- [jaunty] Sound muted after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352732 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
