No sound, reset alsa, ok. No audio after restart. [Solved]

Ok, so I get information about this command in konsole that it will make sound come back:

"sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset"

Ok, I get sound back. It's quiet, but it's there. After every shut down and reboot, again no sound. Is there a fix too these 2 issues?

Re: No sound, reset alsa, ok. No audio after restart.

Try installing pavucontrol and paman:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pavucontrol paman

Afterwards, open pavucontrol and take a close look at the "sinks" -- especially the speakers. You might find a tiny "mute" button that you can click to unmute them.

Open KMenu > System Settings > Multimedia. Observe the list of "devices" and note which is at the top of the list. Use the "test" button to see if each device works. On my system, "Pulseaudio", "HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)", and "Jack Audio Connection Kit" produce sound, but "HDA Intel (STAC92xx Digital)" does not. Any device that does not produce sound goes down to the bottom of the list.

PulseAudio and HDA Intel were on the list. Audio came through on both of them.

I opened up Amarok and tried to play mp3 files, and it asked me to install audio codecs(?). I did so, and now I get audio after rebooting and without having to reset.
