Greetings misc,
I am running 6.9 and am having some difficulty. I have
outputs.master=255,255 set in mixerctl.conf (it is the only line in
the file), but every time I open an application its individual
volume is set to 0.496. For example, sndioctl reveals:
input.level=0.490
input.mute=0
output.level=1.000
output.mute=0
app/mplayer0.level=0.496
This is very quiet on my setup and I have to manually adjust the
volume every time. I have read the entirety of the sndiod,
sndioctl, mixerctl, and mixerctl.conf man pages, and I can't find
anything that tells me how to change that default 0.496 value. I'd
rather have it stay at 1. I've tried modifying every value that was
set to 126 (0.496 * 255) or anywhere close to it in the default
mixerctl to 255,255 with mixerctl.conf but it still happens. Is
this intended behavior?
When a program exits, its level setting is kept in memory by sndiod;
when the program is started again, it continues with its saved
level. The initial level is 1.
So when the system starts, app/mplayer0.level is supposed to be 1.
Is the problem with mplayer only or with all programs? If it's mplayer
only, is there something in ~/.mplayer/config that could cause this?
I owe you a beverage of your choosing. Reinstalling on a machine I haven't
used for ages and I copied over an old home directory without much thought.
There it was. My apologies for cluttering the list.
