<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Sometimes I have to boot up the computer a second time to get sound from
anything. On checking ALSA by:<br>
<br>
# alsamixer -c 0 <br>
<br>
I see that when sound is not working the Alsamixer is showing incomplete
only one of the sound controls appears instead of seeing the Master and
all the regular other sound adjusters. Also ALSA is choosing the USB
Webcamera instead of the Sound card.<br>
<br>
After rebooting the sound is as normal! The Alsamixer shows as it should
with Master Sound and all the sound level adjusters in place<font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> and nothing muted</font></font>.<br>
<br>
Is there a way of making Mandriva 2009.1 select as default the sound
card each time on boot up avoiding reboots?<br>
<br>
Pulse sound is disabled so as to allow Skype to work properly with<br>

I have included part of what shows to show where the sound card is
installed.<font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>

Any ideas on how to avoid any clashes and that Mandriva loads each time the ALSA sound correctly?<br>
