phunni Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 I recently installed KDE in a bid to get my wife to use Linux (fairly succesful...) I still log in to flux. The problem is that whenever she has logged in, all alsa mixer settings are reverted to 0. I run a script as a service that saves and restores alsa mixer settings. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?

devries Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Usi...ve+volume+state Alsactl should do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I think this is what is used in the script I mentionedto preserve settings on bootup and shutdown. The problem is that that isn't where the problem occurs. Whenver KDE is started (or at some point during that session - maybe when KDE is closed) all the volumes are set to nill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 In the kde control center, sound & multimedia, mixer there is an option to save volume settings. I don't know what it does, never tried it, but you could give it a try. Nothing else springs to mind. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkliberty Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Place the script in ~/.kde/Autostart It will start when kde does. or do what devries said in the kde control panel... that works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 OK, I have kind of made progress. I now have sound when I log (although i may have to adjust one or two mixer settings) but there is no sound for my wife in KDE (remember I use flux) During KDE startup - it begins to play the startup sounds, but is then stopped - presumably when some kind of setting is loaded. I just tried loading wmix to try and play with mixer settings. PCM volume and FM synth volume are both zeroed - changing them works. I'm going to log in and then out and see if the changes are persisted. Will post back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted September 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 They are not. Master volume and a few others remain preserved, but everything is zeroed Why is this happening? The script I use to preserve settings only works on startup/shutdown but closing KDE seems to nuke the settings. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
