Re: Default sound level always zero for externally plugged usb sound system

[Jude DaShiell]

Needing sound as much as I do and having used usb sound systems, I'll add
one more suggested precaution to this info.  Sometimes alsa makes .lock
files in /var/lock and these will block alsactl from working.  So check
for those and delete as necessary then run alsactl store and alsa will
make those lock files for you again but with your desired settings in
place.

But, but.

If you're sudo [1] anyway, it might even take crypto. Or NFT.

As far as I know it takes only altairian dollars, but you might get away 
with reciting some Vogon poetry instead (if you're not thrown out 
first).

Kind regards,

Try `alsactl store` (might need root).

Default sound level always zero for externally plugged usb sound system

[Pankaj Jangid]

I have stuck into a strange problem. Everything was working fine a
couple of days ago.

I use external USB mic Yeti Blue. This has a zero latency speaker output
as well. I use that for my headphones.

Whenever I plug the USB in, it is detected and it becomes the default
device for INPUT as well as OUTPUT. This is fine.

The problem is that the volume of speaker is zero. Though the master
volume is NOT zero. So what I use this workaround - launch ‘alsamixer’
and select “Blue Device” using F6. And then increase volume (F3 -
playback). Here the volume is always zero when I plug the device.

I don’t what has changed in last few days.

Is there a way to tell Debian to save the previous volume level of
externally plugged-in device?

Pankaj
