Any ideas what > that might be? Heh.. I should have explored more before asking. It all comes down to /etc/rc.d/mixer. This script resets all the volume levels from a saved state. The way to change it, (with persistence) is to set the mixer levels manually, then run '/etc/rc.d/mixer stop' which saves the current state. Fortunately I named my unnecessary script 'volume' so that it hasn't overwritten the canonical /etc/rc.d/mixer script. :) David -- Sure God created the world in only six days, but He didn't have an established user-base. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Curious! I wrote up an rc.d script that seemes to work fine on reboot. I get console messages confirming that volume has been changed. But as soon as I log in, either as root or a normal user, I type 'mixer' and it shows the volume levels back where they were before. I'm guessing that there is something else either in rc.d or in the login sequence that is setting the mixer after my script runs. Any ideas what that might be?

I suppose preferred would depend on what your priorities are. If you change the kernel source, it would be hard for you to change those defaults later, as opposed to making a startup script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. If you want to set the kernel defaults, they appear to be in mixer.c (find /usr/src/sys -name mixer.c -print) in snd_mixerdefaults. /-/ The opinions above are solely those of a 12 year old hacker who has broken into my account, and not those of my employer or any other organization. finger://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ephemeron.org/~bigby/ irc://irc.ephemeron.org/#the_pub news://news.ephemeron.org/alt.lemurs /-/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
persistent mixer volume levels
What is the preferred method for making mixer volume levels persistent? As it stands now my sounds levels are dropped to about 75% after each reboot.
