Sound is mute on every reboot

Every time I reboot my system, the default levels in ALSAmixer is set to 0 and is mute. My user is member in audio group, I have set the levels correctly and have done alsactl store.
But still, I have to set the levels after every restart. It is really annoying.

no the point is that while alsactl provides the ability to store and restore values, it is up to the user to decide when this happens - some want it on reboot, some don't... in a base system, nothing should change - that's why arch doesn't do it automatically
think about it this way:
if, say samba worked this way (automatically started and mounted things on boot), what would happen if samba was installed as a dependancy that you never used - i.e. you havve no network shares to mount and no samba shares on your machine... then you have samba starting every boot, running in the background, consuming some ports, blah blah blah - even worse if there happens to be a security problem with samba - all because it "automatically started" - the mindset in the arch community tends to be "give it to me, I'll turn it on when I want to"

Sound Card changes after every reboot

Alright, I've had this little issue since I installed Arch on one of my computers. After every reboot, the sound card changes and I have to manually edit my .asoundrc to get sound. It's not a huge deal but it is very annoying. How do I prevent my system from switching my sound card?
This the output from aplay -l

I'm trying to keep the Xonar STX as the default card.

Yeah that didn't work. I get a message about .asoundrc being old or corrupted so Alsamixer basically ignores it.
I assume you changed the 'XFi' (my preferred sound card) to 'STX'

I have no sound in apps. I have tried the side mute button and rebooting.

I have no sound in apps. I have tried the side mute button and rebooting. I have no access to volume on the control panel swipes from the bottom. Seems I lost sounds after the last ios 7.1.1 update.

HI, I was fine until I posted a video link from CNN to FaceBook, then none of those videos have sound in FB, no sound in news post links, no sound in any games. I can hear YouTube, downloaded music, alert sounds. I re-booted. I UN-linked the video that caused this. I reset the iPad to original settings...nothing has worked. Any clue? Thanks!

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks

Macbook Pro Sound becomes mute after upgrading to 10.6.3

Every thing on my new MBP was working fine, till I just upgraded the firmware from the 10.6.2 to 10.6.3
Now the sound went mute. No mater what I do, it remains mute.
I tried every thing, went to system preferences, tried to slide the volume slider, but nothing happenned.
Please advise how to bring the sound back.
Do I have to downgrade to 10.6.2 If yes, how can I do it. I am new to Macs. Will i loose my data.

This is to inform the MacBook Pro users, that I solved my problem only after I run the installation disc of Mac OSX, and downgraded my OS to 10.6
I would warn other users, that they should take a proper backup, before installing any Apple software updates.
Though, I am very disappointed that Apple is releasing such updates, without proper testing. It reminded me of Microsoft.

Reinstalling Audio drivers after every reboot

Hi,
I have a P750 PSAY3A-02J001 which i gor in australia.
Recently I had to buy a new hard drive (as the old was scratched) and have windows 7 reinstalled. This was done in England.
After this I then restored from my external Hard drive.
After this restore i saw a lot of icons shaped like a clamp which all seemed to refer to specific Toshiba settings. I have opened and installed all of these and they appear to be working okay except for the Audio drivers.
After every reboot I have no sound when playing movies etc and have to reinstall the drivers again.
I have saved the folder on my desktop (for ease to reinstall every time) however Im wondering if the Laptop is not starting up this driver or its being saved in the wrong spot? any way to fix this?
Also I was attempting to use the Toshiba doanloads section to update everything however under my Model P750 there is no PSAY3A-02J001 (my model doesnt seem to exsist?)
Many thanks in advance

Satellite P750/02J (PSAY3A-02J001)
You didn't find your machine listed here because this site is only for US computers.
Downloads for your Aussie model are here.
After this I then restored from my external Hard drive.
Please tell us all about that backup image. Exactly which application are you using?
After this restore i saw a lot of icons shaped like a clamp which all seemed to refer to specific Toshiba settings. I have opened and installed all of these and they appear to be working okay except for the Audio drivers.
What is the make and specific model of the new hard drive? If it uses advanced-format technology, that may be the source of the trouble.

Iphone stuck at apple logo after every reboot?

I came to know d solution of first holding home and sleep button then press + button but why is it happening after every reboot i am doing?help

Hi kstbespoo,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone won't get past the Apple Logo even after a reset.
If so, you may need to restore the iPhone with iTunes. Note you should have a good backup.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Best Regards,

Have to reinstall Flash after every reboot.

Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS up to date - ESET Smart Securty 4
I get prompted to install new version of Flash after a reboot, so it happens at least once a day.
I install Flash and it installs just fine and works until the PC boots up again.
I tried some of the following:
- Use Adobe Flash Uninstall program before installing
- Using standalone install program
- Checked ActiveX Filter and it was off...turning it on causes
   this same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter
Not sure when this started, but the user didn't have this problem until recently.
I am using ESET Smart Security 4. On all our systems, and his PC is the only
one that is having a problem. Need some pretty hard evidence before I bother
with uninstalling ESET just to see if that would help.
The part that is really strange...if I go to manage add-on's while it is working,
I see the Flash player there and Adobe's name there and that it is enabled.
After I reboot and go into the add-on manager, Flash is still there and still
enabled, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is no longer
listed near the other Adobe programs. But then, when I reinstall it, that gets
"fixed" and now says Adobe again. So it almost seems like an IE9 problem
and possibly a corruption problem. No known problems with the PC. I suppose
that reloading the PC from scratch would fix the problem...at least I hope it would,
but I'm also not ready to do major surgery if there is an easier fix.

I also downloaded that Nirsoft tool, and on my (64-bit) system I also only see the ocx and exe registered. But everything works well on my system. So I currently have no other ideas. Hopefully someone from the Adobe team will have a look at this topic.

Default video sound is mute. But when i also can turn on from the volume bar.

I use FLVPlayback from CS 4 to input videos.
I need default sound is mute, but I can turn it on when I need it from volume bar.
Please see my attachement:
Here is the AS:
stop();
button1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener1);
function clickListener1(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("30sec");
button2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,clickListener2);
function clickListener2(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("30sec2");

Yes, I can change the volume from 100 to 0 at flvplayback component. If I do this, I can not turn on the sound anymore. The swf file will stay mute all the time.
I need an answer using AS3 to control player. It is more flexible.
video player default is mute. I can turn on the sound later from volume bar.
thanks

Prevent the Internet Security Suite from scanning after every reboot

My Verizon Internet Security Suite is evidently set to scan everything after every reboot of the computer. My computer is rather slow anyway. But that ties up all the resources for about 15 minutes whenever I reboot the computer. It keeps tabs on things in real time. It's not necessary to scan after every reboot. Can I turn that setting OFF?

Hi Hermhart, Yes there should be an option to set that to off. try this link to see if this helps & let us know thanks Brett.

In Win 7 64bit I get the following error upon every reboot. "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library " This happened yesterday, 8/23/2011 after downloading Apple iTunes 10.4.

This happened yesterday, 8/24/2011 after downloading Apple iTunes 10.4. In Win 7 64bit I get the following error upon every reboot. "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll" Please how do I fix this, Thanks.

In the case that your OS is Windows 7 (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "libxml2.dll"
3. Open new windows explorer, to to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Paste file "libxml2.dll" to the location.
5. Reboot your computer, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

"Application opened for the first time" warning after every reboot

Hello, I have a problem with Lion 10.7.5. The system does not remember that I already opened applications before. After every reboot, every time I open an application it displays the warning as if it's the first time I'm opening it. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In my case, the problem disappeared after I installed the 10.7.5 supplemental update.

Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot

Hello!
On one of our sites containing around 15 servers, whenever a terminal server is rebooted, it gets stuck on Applying Computer Settings for around 15 minutes. If it is un-joined from the domain then no issue. Moreover, once it is done with this delay, no time
delay is observed in user login. But after every reboot, 15 - 20 mins delay is always observed. Domain is the same at other sites and no issue is being observed else where.
OS: MS Windows Server 2008R2

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
In addition, for a test please try to modify the behavior of HTTP.SYS to depend on another service being started first. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP and create the following Multi-string value:
DependOnService
3. Double click the new DependOnService entry
4. Type CRYPTSVC in the Value Data field and click OK.
5. Reboot the server
NOTE: Please ensure that you make a backup of the registry / affected keys before making any changes to your system.
