ALSA -muted on startup

[desertwind]

I'm using FC4. Me have an nforce Audio using ALSA drivers. Off late, my computer starts with my speakers muted. Every time i've to unmute Master and PCM volume. This is really annoying.

I've added the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf

install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && {/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : }

remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

But that didn't help

Did u try saving the volume by
'alsactl store'? alsa utils should be installed for this...

This is nonsense. The syntax for modprobe is quite different. there is no pre-remove or post-install commands.

yes. but not in a manner i expected. i followed the steps in the first link given by you. and it worked fine. It starts sound server at boot time.
