Intel sound problem was sorted but no mixer

[pr0xibus]

i dont know if this is the right thread

i am running bt3 with kernel 2.6.21.5 although the sound didnt work to start with i downloaded a .lzm file from

hxxp://download.airdump.net/data/backtrack/modules/

its the intel sound
now i ran lzm2dir filename /

then restarted. everything worked fine sound works great etc but after a few reboots i notice that sound doesn't work. at the bottom of the screen where the kmixer should be it looks like its muted so i double click but it now says there is no mixer

any ideas what the problem could be

i could just reinstall the module all the time i reboot but it gets a wee bit tiresome

any help appreciated

Does the problem happen with root user?
If it only occurrs when you're using non-root user, then just give that user the permission to access audio hardware by add this user to group audio.

Hi there, I had the same problem.
Edit the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add this:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack

After that if you add a new user in the users group edit the /etc/group and search for audio you must have something like this:

audio::17:users

Reboot and you should be all done
