Sound Cards

[Gregory Nowak]

I use alsamixer myself, so can't help you with aumix.

As for loading sound at boot, that depends on which distribution you
use. I use slackware, and have the following in my
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules

#alsa
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1
#/sbin/modprobe snd-ainstr-simple
/sbin/modprobe snd-mixer-oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss
#/sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-plugin
#/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-instr
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi-emul
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi-event
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-midi
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq-virmidi
/sbin/modprobe snd-seq
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth
/sbin/modprobe snd-emux-synth
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore

You most likely don't need to load all those modules, especially if
you have module autoloading enabled in the kernel.

However, I like to load all of them just for the heck of it.

Hth.
