hi guys, i've tried a couple suggestions, but nothing is working for me. here is a few things from the console that might be helpful. no xwindows on this machine, it's just a base freebsd network install with only the necessary packages installed to do the audio stuff it needs to do.
radio# mixer Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100 Mixer pcm is currently set to 0:0 Mixer speaker is currently set to 75:75 Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0 Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75 Mixer rec is currently set to 7:7 Recording source: mic radio# uname -a FreeBSD radio 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 11:05:30 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 when i issue /etc/rc.d/mixer stop then reboot, the mixer shows set to 7:7, but then it still clips like it does on 90. then i set mixer to 7 and it says setting mixer fro 90 to 7. i am thinking that /etc/rc.d/mixer gets invoked before kldload loads the driver because both dmesg and mixer tell me there is no mixer device till the machine is up for around 2 minutes. maybe i will try the hda enable in rc.conf, but it doesn't seem ac97 on unix is as well supported as the windows drivers so i need the particular driver i downloaded (i might be wrong). cheers, harry On 9/18/07, Mel < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Monday 17 September 2007 22:21:54 Rob wrote: > > Harry Doyle wrote: > > > however whenever i reboot the machine the mixer command always shows > the > > > default level of 90 which clips pretty hard. > > > > My 6.2 system saves and restores the mixer settings across boots. > > Apparently in the file /var/db/mixer0-state However, the file is root > > owned and 644; perhaps if you create the file and chmod it writable, > your > > settings will stick? > > Nope.
