running alsactl init command during boot

mwill99

Dear all,

Foremost, Solus is an amazing distro, very much enjoy using it.

I need to run the alsactl init command every time I boot the computer in order to activate the sound card. The startup service and script I created are not exactly working, oddly, the command now runs when I simply launch the terminal.

I created a startup.service file in the etc/systemd/system folder; here are the contents:

[Unit]
Description=Run Script at Startup

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/etc/profile.d/startup.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here are the contents of the startup.sh script located in the etc/profile.d folder:

#!/bin/bash

alsactl init

Where am I going wrong? Is there a better way of running alsactl init during boot?

Thank you!

Staudey

mwill99 From my limited understand this seems fine. Did you also activate the service?
When it comes to it launching every time to start the terminal: Are you sure you haven't also put it in your .bashrc file or similar?

edit: If you're using Budgie you can alternatively add that command to "Autostart" in "Budgie Desktop Settings"
