Re: [Alsa-user] Configuring ALSA to be enabled on Debian startup

[Igor G. <ig...@at...>]

Hi Justin. In Debian, you handle startup items by running update-rc.d xxx
defaults. Where xxx is a shell script which loads your modules. Step 1
create a shell script that will use /sbin/modprobe to load your sound
modules. And possibly run alsactl restore to load your last saved mixer
settings. Next, mv your shell script to /etc/init.d. This is like
/etc/rc.d in distros such as Slackware. Next run update-rc.d xxx defaults.
My script is called loadsound, so my syntax would be: update-rc.d
loadsound defaults. Hope this helps,

Igor
