 Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2004 11:22 pm Post subject: alsactl wont save settings [Solved] |
 |
|
Every reboot I am having to mute one channel to get my SFX back up and running.
I have tried making my settings then alsactl store. But each reboot it resets itself.
The alsactl store was done as root.
Any ideas ?
Thank you

And do you have alsasound in your boot runlevel ?
Maybe some sound daemon mutes your card. If you are testing your sound in KDE, look at artsd config.

Thanks for your reply 
I have alsasound starting at boot.
I have looked through CP>Sounds in KDE and have turned off the mixer settings and changed the hardware from alsa to open to auto and it still wont save the settings.

I use GNOME now, but I remember that in KDE there was something like save settings for artsd. Maybe the same menu where you changed auto instead of alsa.
So set your sound via some KDE mixer. And then save settings for artsd.

I had the same problem and don't use KDE or Gnome.
I use aumix for my mixer, and saved the mixer levels but they's be at 0 on boot.
I realized that /etc/init.d/aumix wasn't in my default runlevel, so it wasn't loading the settings. Fixed that and it solved the problem. |

Wow, I just did the same thing a couple minutes ago before finding this post. Sounds starts on reboot again.

You dont need to !!!!!!!!!!
xfce4 is a basic GUI , there a no build in apps that mess with your sound . Just set up your system sound as you want it and it will stay that way when you run xfce.
I you want to you can always run kde apps from xfce (assuming of course that you have emerged them indivivually or through emerge kde)
eg type konsole in a xfce terminal window and you will get the kde terminal with cut and paste : handy for posting to Gentoo forums!

If it helps , I dont see alsa in rc-status either and it is started as you say.
My sound levels seem consistant.
I set them with alsamixer and they are at the values I set.
