[Alsa-user] Mixer settings.
Hello, I am a bit new to alsa since my applications worked better with oss before. I own a emu10k1 card. I know, the driver has everything unmuted by default, so I use the amix program to set the sound in startup, I noticed the following: My soundcard has about a dozen or more devices. Most of them are hard to guess what they do. When I use alsamixer I have so many sliders, that its kinda hard to find wich one to pull. some of them also seem to interact wich eachother making it possible to use different mixing setups? Is there any convenient mixer that doesnt let me fumble around and just gives me a simple set of sliders? I only have a set of nasty old pcspeakers for my sound here so I realy don't bother with any of the advanced options. And is there any documentation about what all the other sliders mean? I can guess Master and PCM but some of the mixer controls seem rather obscure. If it allows you to do anything funky with this card ( like i've seen some years ago in win98 ) it would be fun. bye, Matt. --- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.

[Alsa-user] Mixer settings go to 0 between bootups
When I reboot my gamix mixer settings go to 0. As root I then execute 'alsactl restore 0' and all is well. How do I keep the mixer settings between bootups? Using debian woody distro and KDE3 wm. Same thing happens with any other wm. Using KDM as the X display manager. Gamix works fine as root but get following as user: vtorrico@boris:~$ gamix probe.c 40: No ALSA device. main.c 36: Can not make mixer. vtorrico@boris:~$ Help appreciated. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ApacheCon, November 18-21 in Las Vegas (supported by COMDEX), the only Apache event to be fully supported by the ASF. http://www.apachecon.com ___ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

The way I consider the cleanest is explained here : http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/ Basically, what I do is add this to my /etc/modules.conf file : post-install snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl restore /dev/null 21 || : pre-remove snd-card-0 /usr/sbin/alsactl store /dev/null 21 || : Like that, whenever I play around with ALSA, my settings are kept! Of course, I also have a script that saves the state upon reboots and shutdowns.

I guess 0.9beta has the same (though maybe in another package / directory). In KDE Control Centre - Sound - Mixer you can 'save current volumes' and check the 'Load volumes at login' box.
