Got it.
Press F6, select your sound card and see if the options persisted. In
general, any volume changes you make in alsamixer will persist until the
computer, or pulseaudio is restarted. See below for possible solutions...
Only the Master channel is displayed in alsamixer.
When I configure alsamixer it displays the HD-Audio Generic (Realtek ALC1220
chip) card. But, that and all other settings are lost as soon as I close it.
Therefore, the glorious alternative is to remove/disable the pulseaudio
daemon in it's entirety. Doing this will revert your entire system to a
simpler time when everyone set up their input/output channels in asoundrc,
and still had spines.
Downside to this is that any application that removed alsa support will no
longer be able to output audio. e.g. Firefox, so we can add Mozilla to the
weak spine department.
I have jack(a.k.a. Jack2) installed. /proc/asound/cards displays
0 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfcf60000 irq 60
1 [Generic ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic
HD-Audio Generic at 0xfce00000 irq 62
On the JACK web page's FAQ I read that I can configure JACK to use a
specific card; perhaps HDMI here? What would that do to pulse?
Thanks,
Rich
