I have accidentally found that the problem with |
71 |
absence of sound on my Gentoo box appears |
72 |
only when my USB Logitech webcam is connected |
73 |
to the computer during the boot time. |
74 |
|
75 |
Moreover, if it happens and the sound is absent, |
76 |
the alsamixer shows that my USB Logitech webcam |
77 |
is considered by the system as a default sound device. |
78 |
|
79 |
So, it tries to send sound there even though it does |
80 |
not have any speaker. |
