Alsa Boot Script

Due to a bug in Debian Sid I'm currently having to run "alsactl init" at the command-line to start my sound card. This wasn't a big issue, but I though automating this simple task at boot would be more efficient. I made the following script in /etc/init.d/ and ran chmod +x on it:

Code:

root@me:/etc/init.d# cat atboot.sh 
#!/bin/bash

alsactl init
echo "All your base belong to us..."

We my system boots up I see the test string being echoed "All your base belong to us...". However, the sound does not start and I have to run "alsactl init" again from the command-line to start sound. Does anyone know anything I may be missing?

HD-Audio: ALSA settings not persistent across reboots.

Hi: The OS is Slackware 14.0. When, after 14.0 install I first ran alsamixer, I got an error message and it quit. After some googling, I created /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf with these lines: alias snd-card-0 snd_hda_intel alias sound-slot-0 snd_hda_intel options snd_hda_intel...

runit-init(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     runit-init(8)

NAME

       init - a UNIX process no 1

SYNOPSIS

       init [ 0 | 6 ]

DESCRIPTION

       runit-init is the first process the kernel starts.  If runit-init is started as process no 1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).

       If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be either called as init 0 or init 6:

       init 0 tells  the  Unix	process  no 1 to shutdown and halt the system.	To signal runit(8) the system halt request, runit-init removes all
	      permissions of the file /etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission of the file  /etc/runit/stopit  (chmod
	      100).  Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).

       init 6 tells  the  Unix	process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system.  To signal runit(8) the system reboot request, runit-init sets the
	      execute by owner permission of the files /etc/runit/reboot and /etc/runit/stopit	(chmod	100).  Then  a	CONT  signal  is  sent	to
	      runit(8).

EXIT CODES

       runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
