It does help, in this case, to have a graphical interface. It's pretty difficult to get things adjusted properly while switching back and forth between fldigi and the command line. An old fashioned alternative is xmixer (or xmix?) which may have less dependencies than other programs. An idea for gmixer: Eventually there's an option for preset values, or a kind of configuration file which is read right after program startup, and if such a file doesn't exists, zero values are assumed. Another mixer GUI worth mentioning is aumix / xaumix (Gtk) which features both a graphical and a text mode GUI for adjusting levels. Because I've used this program in the past, I can tell you that it's not resetting all the values.

Re: Mixer resets
tweaked from time to time. I started out just doing it from the command line via mixer. After a while I installed gmixer because having a graphical interface made things go a lot quicker.

Are there other graphical mixer alternatives? for sure it's gmixer feature - as you said mixer works fine. try /usr/ports/audio/cam ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Are there other graphical mixer alternatives? What does 'mixer' output after a reboot, even with gmixer enabled? Perhaps as a 'hack', you could do something @reboot via cron to set mixers start levels. I know it's not a real fix, but it'll work as a, so I've heard, quirkaround for now. -- Glen Barber ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
