 Posted: Sun May 15, 2005 3:22 pm Post subject: alsamixer isnt restoring settings. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Ive had this problem for some time now, that every time I bootup, I have to set the levels and settings in alsamixer. I have tried most of the howtos about alsa, if not all... but I cant seem to get it working. I would really need someone to help me through the steps necessary to get it working or ill go nuts. I have seen many post their .asoundrc, and I have searched for it but there is no asoundrc on any of my hdd:s. And everytime I shut down I get some message that /dev/mixer doesnt exist but as those messages never end up in any file in /var/log that is hard to really say exactly what that message says...
but here is some of what I can give you:
startupmessage in console:
| Code: | * Loading ALSA modules...
* Loading: snd-card-0... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-seq-oss... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-pcm-oss... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-emu10k1-synth... [ ok ]
* Loading: snd-seq-midi... [ ok ]
* Restoring Mixer Levels... [ ok ]
* Loading Mixer settings... |
as you see... no [ ok ] after loading Mixer settings! And it says ok after Restoring Mixer Levels... it doesnt...

Hi,
I suspect that you haven't saved the settings. After setting things, go into root and type in alsactl store.
That should do it.

Well... that didnt solve my problem either, but I found the solution... I have both fvwm and KDE3.4 installed at the moment, and I login with kdm, even though kde hasn't been started for some time, it seems like kdm is starting up kmix,  , (just noticed that it was running via top), I didnt even bother to check kmix as I myself dont like kde and always started up fvwm...
All I had to do was start kde, adjust sounds in kmix and restart... I am seriously thinking of unmerging kde at the moment but then I would get decapitated by my girlfriend... KDE is beginning to be very much lika some OS that I really dont like... Ive been working on this the last couple of days, and the only thing that was causing it all was kde  |

Ok, glad you figured it out. I personally like KDE, though I am considering looking into enlightenment at some point in the future. The kmix thing can be fixed if you just use properties to tell it not to start automatically (there may be another means of preventing it from doing so, search around...)

I just put an amixer statement into my bashrc to be executed once on a pty - it didn't work in /etc/conf.d/local.start. This explains it. 
kde 3.3 |
