[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#545415: alsa-base: alsa fails to respond until "alsa force-reload" is executed manually

[Niu Kun]

Package: alsa-base
Version: 1.0.20+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,
In fact, the problem exists ever since I installed the system in 2005.
But now, I learnt to use the "reportbug" tool. And I decided to report the bug.
I've got a Intel 915GAV mother board.
I used the integrated sound card.
But each time I log into my system, my gnome notifies me that the sound daemon works incorrectly.
All my video and audio players fail to play sound file or play movie with out sound.
I have to execute "alsa force-reload" to resolve the problem.
So I wonder if alsa drivers can load correctly on system bootup, so that I don't have to execute the command each time I log into my system.

Regards,
Kun
