Sound issue on Asus eeePC R101

[csmaiwald]

I use MX 23 on my old Asus netbook. everything works fine but there's no speaker sound. If I plug in Headphones Sound is working, but if i want to have speaker sound i always have to open the console and have to execute "alsactl init". There seems to be no way to make this automatically after boot. or to save the state after it is running.

We are going to need your computer’s complete profile before we can proceed, so you need to post the output from the QSI utility. The Quick System Info (QSI) utility is located in MX Tools and its output is automatically formatted for use here in the forum. Run the QSI utility, click “Copy for Forum” at the bottom and then just paste it here in your thread.

Assuming it's Xfce: you can "add" new entry in "Session and Startup" - "App. Autostart". Any name, any Description and the command.

In case it doesn't work do the command like this with some delay:

Code: Select all

sh -c 'sleep 5 ; alsactl init'

... If it's Fluxbox you can add it into ~/.fluxbox/startup with a & at the end ( alsactl init & ) , somewhere in the middle (before the line exec fluxbox )

Alsamixer => F6, select sound card ( 0 ... ) then F5 (all) then play with the bars, also unmute/mute with the M key from keyboard (those showing MM under the bar are muted btw) ...

... When all settings are according to your taste:

Code: Select all

sudo alsactl store

If they're still not saved we'll do it another way (again with a startup entry)
