Alsa still doesn’t restore its settings on boot. It even resets when unplugging my audio cable. This is a big annoyance resulting in quirky workarounds where people manually store a configuration and loading it via autostart after sleeping for N seconds.
Any way this can progress? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784440 Title: Volume always too loud: "headphone" level always reset to 100% (AD1981B, ICH6) Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The volume of the sound coming out from the headphone jack is always too loud. When the GNOME volume applet slider is set to ~50%, I see the following values on alsamixer: * Master: 52% * Headhone: 100% * PCM: 74% The sound coming out from the jack is unbearably high. If I set the slider to ~3% (a setting that produces an high but acceptable volume) the alsamixer values change to * Master: 0% * Headphone: 100% * PCM: 10% I found that setting Headphone to ~40% is the only way to get an acceptable volume when the GNOME volume applet slider is set to ~50%. The problem now is that these seems to be no way to store that value permanently, it is always reset to 100% on boot. So, * the default values for this device should be adjusted to values that produce an acceptable volume on the headphone jake. * the value manually set for the Headphone knob should be restored on boot.
