I am having some very basic problems with my alsa setup on my new Gentoo installation: 1. I can't make my changes to the mixer settings stick and so I have to change them manually every time I boot up. This is despite having the line 'SAVE_ON_STOP="yes"' as the only uncommented line in /etc/conf.d/alsasound. 2. I can't seem to make my Audigy2 soundcard 0 and my on-board audio soundcard 1, despite having options snd cards_limit=2 options snd_emu10k1 index=0 options snd_intel8x0 index=1 in my /etc/modules.d/alsa (which is automatically used to generate /etc/modules.conf). #2 is just a minor annoyance, but #1 really needs sorting out and any help would be appreciated.
