Could you restate your question a different way? I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what the problem is...

Are you currently having to run alsaconf every time you reboot?

If so, are you telling it to save the modules to /etc/modules at the end of the program so that the modules will be autoloaded on boot?

Could you do a reboot, and post the contents of "lsmod | grep snd" BEFORE and AFTER you run alsaconf, so post two different outputs.

Hrm....that's slightly confusing. It's not a module issue then...

Complete guess here, but try "/usr/sbin/alsa reload" at reboot, see if that helps.

I'm assuming this is why you wanted to upgrade kernels in the other thread?

Is /usr/sbin/alsa there after running alsaconf?

Does the script "alsa-utils" exist in /etc/init.d?

Hello

Any opinion ?
I tested system with live cd of ubuntu (kernel 2.6.12) but alsa was ok !!
So i think upgarding kernel would not help ,am i right ?

If I remember correctly, Ubuntu adds things to the kernel to make it more useable out of the box.

The being said, no, an upgrade to lenny will not make your system unstable.

Lenny is the "testing" version. It's more of a misnomer, but it basically means that they're leaving a package there until they they go so long without a report of a serious bug. I use lenny on all desktop and server machines on my home network, and I don't remember any of them crashing, ever...except this one laptop that overheats, but that's a different story.

All in all, I would highly recommend an upgrade to lenny. It will quite likely solve this problem. As well, the software in etch is somewhat outdated.
