I have to run alsactl restore in the terminal at every boot - T1125P - 07-14-2017
I also have a sound issue with LL 3.4. In order for me to have sound out of my netbook I have to run alsactl restore in the terminal at every boot.
I can confirm that with previous version of LL I had no issues. Is there a way to make this command run at start up so I do not have to enter it every time I restart?
Thanks

Well I just tried every method on that page and even this link someone else posted in the comments: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS
Still no sound. If there was a way to get alsactl restore command during the boot up to execute that would work. But for now I have to enter that in the terminal and run it if I want to use sound.

Because of the LL updater I'm not sure you can get the change you need to persist. You can make the change you need as root (not sudo) but it may mess up the LL updater. Have you considered adding the command as a menu item with an icon in the tray?

Hmm, that is a good idea trinidad, I think that would work for me
You mean go to panel, add new items, then launcher? Then I just add alsactl restore?

OK I think I got it to work in the panel. Made a folder with alsactl restore inside as a text file picked a nice sound icon as well, so now when I click on it, after the netbook boots up the sound is back
I was wondering, is there a way to make this panel item autostart when the netbook starts up so I don't have to click on it
Maybe I'm asking to much

Here is what I did to fix the sound not playing on vlc after playing sound on youtube. Add this to the client.conf(at the bottom) of the file in the /etc/pulse/ folder using sudo and reboot and it will fix sound for at least my issue for all users.
Code:

Thanks supergamer, I tried it, sound is still muted though. I have the command alsto start my audio in my taskbar panel. I'm trying to find a way to make this command autostart once the computer boots up
