Check your /etc/modprobe.conf file for sound-slot-1 and either comment out
[add the pound sign at the start of the line] the line(s) or remove the
line(s).
With Redhat/Fedora the ALSA sound is muted at system start and some have
found the following workaround, which is;
As root modify /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add something like;
# Restore ALSA's default sound volume levels
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1;
If you also want (optional) the PC Speaker 'beeps' add;
# Restore the PC Speaker beeps
/sbin/modprobe pcspkr
In addition as root create the /etc/aumixrc file (the defined default ALSA
sound levels file), here's an example /etc/aumixrc file below;
vol:85:85:P
pcm:85:85:P
speaker:85:85:P
line:85:85:P
mic:85:85:R
cd:85:85:P
igain:85:85:P
line1:85:85:P
phin:85:85:P
video:85:85:P
Adjust the default levels (85% of max) to suit you.
