Re: Sound Volume in Gnome
Oh okay. I did find a pretty good workaround, but your solution sounds good also. Whichever you prefer I guess. My solution is in my Gnome Startup Programs I put gmix -i as one of the programs. gmix is the gnome audio mixer program, but when called with the -i option it just initializes the mixer and restores the users previous settings. This is a great solution exept for the fact that you have to do it for each user and if you play sounds from outside gnome before you play sounds in gnome, you'll get really loud volumes again. Perhaps both of our solutions together would be the best? Thanks. -Jeff tjm wrote: Jeff Hornsberger wrote: Hi, I just moved over from RH and when I used gnome on there it used to save and restore my sound volume settings when I logged in and out.

But, here's a workaround. There is a program called 'volume' that can be run at boot time through the module options. I placed the following code in /etc/modutils/arch/i386: post-install sb /bin/volume 10 So my i386 file now looks like this. ... alias midi awe_wave options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 post-install sb /bin/volume 10 ... When this is entered, run update-modules and the modules.conf file will be updated, the lines being added to that file. I just posted the sound module lines here. Your entry may be somewhat different depending on what your loading, of course, but the key command line is the post-install. This runs the volume program after the sound modules are loaded and sets the volume to 10 percent. The volume-2.1.tgz should be attached. There may be other programs that do the same thing, but this worked so I didn't really look any further. -- tony mollica [EMAIL PROTECTED] Name: volume-2.1.tar.gz volume-2.1.tar.gzType: Zip Compressed Data (application/x-zip-compressed) Encoding: base64

It's a console mixer app, but it also includes the script /etc/init.d/aumix which saves the mixer state at shutdown and restores it on startup. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED]
