Description Karsten Kuenne 2005-09-21 21:46:01 UTC 
If I do an installation with autoyast and have the following in my profile: 
 
      <volume_settings config:type="list"> 
        <volume_entry config:type="list"> 
          <volume_component config:type="list"> 
            <volume_component_settings>Master</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="integer">90</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="boolean">false</volume_component_settings> 
          </volume_component> 
          <volume_component config:type="list"> 
            <volume_component_settings>Master Mono</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="integer">0</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="boolean">true</volume_component_settings> 
          </volume_component> 
          <volume_component config:type="list"> 
            <volume_component_settings>Headphone</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="integer">0</volume_component_settings> 
            <volume_component_settings 
config:type="boolean">true</volume_component_settings> 
          </volume_component> 
... 
(and so on) 
 
I end up with a system with all volumes set to 0. This was working in SUSE 
9.3. The system in question is an IBM Thinkpad T43 with the builtin sound. 
 
Following are some messages from the y2log which I can't interpret but maybe 
show a problem:

It repeats itself for the various volumes. 
 
If I do an interactive installation the volumes are set to some reasonable 
values.
Comment 1 Uwe Gansert 2005-09-23 08:45:07 UTC 
Ladislav, this seems to be for you.
Did the autoyast map that I import to the sound module change from 9.3 to 10.0?
Comment 2 Ladislav Slezák 2005-09-23 12:29:31 UTC 
There may be a problem with mixer initialization. I fixed one in normal
installation, may be that in autoyast mode it remains...
Comment 3 Karsten Kuenne 2005-09-23 14:55:56 UTC 
Yes, that's how it looks like because after the installation was done there 
were no sound modules loaded and sound wasn't working at all. So it seems that 
during autoyast installations the sound isn't started and then of course the 
mixer settings fail.
Comment 4 Stanislav Visnovsky 2007-10-09 10:44:44 UTC 
Can this be reproduced with openSUSE 10.3?
Comment 5 Ladislav Slezák 2007-10-09 11:33:35 UTC 
I don't know, but I didn't change anything related to autoyast in 10.3.

Karsten (or Uwe) could you check it in 10.3? Thank you a lot!
Comment 6 Karsten Kuenne 2007-10-11 13:01:53 UTC 
I'm just starting to download 10.3. It'll probably take me another couple of weeks before I'll be able to try it, so please be patient.
Comment 7 Stephan Kulow 2007-11-10 15:42:51 UTC 
just pinging...
Comment 8 Karsten Kuenne 2007-11-13 01:45:12 UTC 
I did my first 10.3 autoyast installation and the volumes were set without my workaround! But let me run it a couple more times just to make sure I can't reproduce it anymore.
Comment 9 Ladislav Slezák 2007-11-13 05:59:41 UTC 
OK, thank you for the testing!
Comment 10 Karsten Kuenne 2007-11-13 20:04:00 UTC 
I did a couple more installations and it seems to work fine. Volumes are always set after the installation. I'd say it's fixed in 10.3.
Comment 11 Ladislav Slezák 2007-11-14 11:38:43 UTC 
Nice to hear, thank you!
