New troubles the old problems stays and after todays updates the master volume defaults to 100% after every boot.. Not anyone with the same problems or anyone that can help finding out if this is a bug or what.. I mean it worked with 9.04

Right mouse on the Speaker icon, chose "show mixer window". From the mixer window click "settings" and from that click "Configure Kmix". On that dialog check the box which says "Restore volumes on login".

Restore volumes on login is already checked.. So its not that.. Any more suggestions??

Ok, let's backup a bit. You say although it gave a "tick" on boot up the sound was working on 9.04 until the software update? Your "Master" slider may be set anywhere between the bottom and top of the slider, but it won't mean anything if PCM is set higher than 0 and, perhaps, you check a "capture" checkbox and run that capture slider up somewhat. You might also try headphones and see if sound is coming out of them when you play a test file.


My Sony VAIO VGN-FW140E/H has that sound chip and

asoundconf list

returns:
"Intel"

What does that command return for yours?


Also supply what
cat /proc/asound/modules
returns.


You should also check that you and root are members of the following groups, which you can check in System/KUsers, since these sometimes are removed with updates.
pulse
pulse-rt
pulse-access

Check the sound driver sequences in SystemSettings --> Multimedia. You can move HDA Intel ACL268 to the top of the list.

henric@henric-laptop:~$ asoundconf list
bash: asoundconf: kommando hittades inte

henric@henric-laptop:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
 0 snd_hda_intel

I do only find the groups pulse and pulse-access and no im not a member of these groups.

(Added myself and root now)

Capture isnt checked.

And sorry for my bad english I do have sound here in 9.10 but to "start" the sound so it works i have to check the mute master box and then unmute and voila i have sound.. At startup and when starting applications that plays sound I get a nasty tick out of the speakers.. And I do use the hearplug all the time (external speakers)

Checked the volume under startup now and at first when i get the desktop the volume is at its last level but sometime during the startup of the desktop the sound jumps to 100% and mutes the headphones..

Should do a reboot later today and test if joining the pulse groups made anything better..
