I was wondering if you posters have something in /etc/modprobe.conf
similar to what I have:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 &&
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
I'm not sure what this is supposed to do, but it appears it might
reset aumix to 0 on reboot.
Note, it is a hidden /etc/.aumixrc referrenced there too.
I was just about to post asking after the meaning of these lines when
I noticed your thread.
