[gentoo-user] /etc/asound.state

Hello

I have frozen bubble working on several systems, you know, for the kids.....
Anyway, frozen-bubble dies on one portable. I found the problem. As I 
added alsasound to the default level and then ran,
'/etc/init.d/alsasound start' I got this error message:
* Loading ALSA modules ...                                                 
 * Restoring Mixer Levels ...
 * No mixer config in /etc/asound.state, you have to unmute your card!

Well, sorry, but audio works fine on this portable.

Sure enough, /etc/asound.state does not even exist on this system.

Also, when I fire up frozen-bubble this way, instead us the 
KDE pull down menu, I get these results:

SDL Init Graphics... Levels   SDNCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT: Invalid argument
Warning: Couldn't set audio fragment size
Sound init
Rady.
Audio write: Invalid argument

Note audio works with vlc, kaffeine and a variety of other applications
on this portable.  '/etc/groups' is just like the other systems where 
frozen  works. I unmerged 'sdl-perl' and then emerged sdl-perl.....

So how do I create the /etc/asound.state file?

Any other ideas?

James

AFAIK, If you run alsamixer and set the volume asound.state will be
created and saved for  the next boot.

OK, I 'emerge alasmixergui' and ran 'alsamixer'. It indicates that 
the volume is up, just like kmix shows. Remember audio is already
working for lots of different applications.

Furthermore, this did not create the /etc/asound.state file?

any other ideas?

alsactl store resp. restore normally gets automatically executed on ALSA 
start/shutdown.

If this is not the case on this particular machine, then there'
s something wrong.

Well, I added alsa to the default run level, built a new 2.14-gentoo-r4
kernel, and this /etc/asound.state now exist. Frozen bubble is now working 
fine.

Thanks everyone!
