How to stop volume control from loading at startup

[Abzstrak]

ok, so I've loaded Debian unstable with Gnome on a computer that has no no sound card. I don't want or need one in the machine, and everytime I log in I get an error about the volume control not being able to find a sound device.

I've checked in the .xsessions, /etc/X11/Xsession.d for something having to do with it. I've tried closing it and saving the session, but the damn error keeps coming back.

can NE1 tell me how to get rid of this annoyance?

TIA

Anything in startup relating to sound?

ne1 huh....

check what's starting up by default. unload alsa

 

[Abzstrak]

nothings starting up realted to sound, no alsa either... nothing starting up with X or gnome ..



well, not that I can tell, cause obviously its coming from somewhere

If alsa isn't loading, make sure OSS isn't loading either.

Apparently "volume control not being able to find a sound device" isn't an exact error anyone else has had. 😕

Remove the volume control from the panel?

 

[Abzstrak]

yea, obviously thats not the exact verbage, ill get it tomorrow if i dont come up with something else. thanks so far.

and volume control is not opened or stuck anywhere (like the panel)

ok, the error is "No Volume control element and/or devices found."

this is the exact same error I get If I try to open the gnome volume control.
