Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2013 2:05 pm Post subject: Alsamixer doesn't save master level for normal user |
|
|
Hi, I'm running Gentoo on VirtualBox and I have the following problem:
I installed alsa-utils, run alsamixer as root, unmuted Master & PCM, set 81% level
on both, exit and run alsactl store.
Everything worked when I tested as root:
# speaker-test -c 2
I switched now to normal user, checked I was part of the audio group, run
$ speaker-test -c 2
it worked on console but no sound at all.
Run alsamixer (as normal user) and Master level was set to 0 & muted.
Tried to unmute putting it at 81% but when I exit Master level settings are lost (only Master level, if I change anything else it's saved correctly).
When I got back to root and run alsamixer again, Master settings were lost as well.
So it looks I can change and save Master level as root but it's not kept whenever I access as normal user.
Just to add infos: system is barebone, I installed the base system, upgraded it and installed X plus pekwm, nothing else.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank's for helping.

My fault, I intended "audio" and mistyped "sound" in the previous message .... editing it .... thank's for pointing it out.
EDIT: Double checked it and my user is in the audio group .... after many others tries the problem still persists. |

What does your /etc/conf.d/alsasound file look like? _________________ Knute

audiodef: Yes, it is:
# rc-status -a
Runlevel: default
virtualbox-guest-additions [ started ]
net.eth0 [ started ]
alsasound [ started ]
.......
Knute: Here it is:
# RESTORE_ON_START:
# Do you want to restore your mixer settings? If not, your cards will be
# muted.
# no - Do not restore state
# yes - Restore state
RESTORE_ON_START="yes"
# SAVE_ON_STOP:
# Do you want to save changes made to your mixer volumes when alsasound
# stops?
# no - Do not save state
# yes - Save state
SAVE_ON_STOP="yes" |
