Last time I have ended the discussion on my |
| 39 |
"no sound" problem acknowledging that I was |
| 40 |
so stupid that "forgot that I should use M to |
| 41 |
unmute a channel in alsamixer." |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
However, it turned out that it was not the case: |
| 44 |
currently I have all channels in alsamixer unmuted |
| 45 |
and have sound only in about 1 from 10 bootings of |
| 46 |
my Gentoo system, while I do always have sound |
| 47 |
on the same computer while I boot it with Ubuntu 20.04. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I have also compared the output of lsmod command |
| 50 |
on both systems and found out that my Gentoo system |
| 51 |
had all sound kernel modules that my Ubuntu system has |
| 52 |
and even more. (In Gentoo, I still have quite an old 5.4.97 |
| 53 |
kernel, but I do not think that it is the cause of my |
| 54 |
"no sound" problem.) |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Of course, it is completely my responsibility that |
| 57 |
I have built my Gentoo system in such a way that |
| 58 |
I never know if I will have sound after its next boot. |
| 59 |
However I am lost guessing what I did wrong. |
| 60 |
(Comparing with Ubuntu 20.04, my Gentoo system |
| 61 |
has no systemd and no pulseaudio, no consolekit, |
| 62 |
and no policykit.) |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
I leave this just for history, as I am currently |
| 65 |
in a war zone and so investigating this problem |
| 66 |
further is not in my priority list. :( |
