lets-eat-gary Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 (edited) Hi people. I have a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe MB with a nforce2 chipset. I have a slightly weird problem, it doesn't just effect Mandrake 10.1 but these systems too - Mandrake 10.1 Oe - Fedora 3 - Yoper 2.1 After installing my sagem ADSL modem (http://dev.eagle-usb.org/wakka.php?wiki=EagleUsb200) I lose my mixer settings at boot . after starting up i have to manually unmute and turn up the 'master' and 'pcm' volume control to hear sound. I'm using the ALSA driver - snd-intel8x0 - why is this happening? - is there a way to make it un-mute and turn up the volume (to 100%) at boot? Cheers Edited December 20, 2004 by lets-eat-gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I don't know what caused your problem however the solution is running, as root, in a console alsactl. That will save the settings as you have them at that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets-eat-gary Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. What flags do i use with alsactl as typing alsactl on it's own gives me the following message ... alsactl: Specify command... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Sorry: alsactl store :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets-eat-gary Posted December 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Sorry: alsactl store :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you so much devries, that did the trick. No idea why the usb modem drivers knocked it out in the 1st place. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 alsactl store saves, alsactl restore...loads :). These should be run automatically at shutdown and startup respectively. The file that's actually used for the settings is /etc/asound.state . I need a very specific combination of settings to get proper sound on my system so I find it pays to keep a backed-up copy of the correct settings in my home directory. When the settings get killed by something (on Cooker there's something somewhere that keeps unloading my sound card module, so that does the trick every time, sigh) I just copy /home/adamw/asound.state.bak to /etc/asound.state and do alsactl restore...solved :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
