Andrewski Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I set the volume the way I want it (in Aumix or in Volume Control) and then I'm good to go. I restart and my settings are back to 0. What's the deal? Is there a startup config file I have to edit? Something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Next time you set the volume in Aumix, tick File>Save before closing the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Or if your using KDE you can use kmix, save the settings as default and then in the options set restore defaults on log-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted August 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Next time you set the volume in Aumix, tick File>Save before closing the app. Whoops. I tried that too, to no avail.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 hmmm.......i had the same problem using KDE at first. but, what solved it was actually a combo of the above instructions. setting Kmix & saving the settings there, then setting AUmix & saving the settings there, too. my volume level is always where i left it when i log into KDE since then. if you are using KDE, do you have the "save settings" option checked in KCC? i think that's what it's called. (i'm at work & not at the MDK machine right now) it's a setting in Kontrol Center that saves your desktop settings when shutting down so they stick the next time you log in. other than that, i'm at a loss. :roll: Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewski Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I don't have KDE installed on my computer.... And the problem continues. What exactly does aumix do to my computer's mixer? Is there a file I can edit somewhere? Is there some startup program that I can throw in somewhere (I don't even know where) to have my settings restored when I restart? etc etc....

chris z Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 hmmmm, again........... aumix should do the trick. when you set the volumes in it, did you make sure that all were enabled? the "line" control is what controls your computer's main volume. if it was enabled, there would be a green light in the button beside that. what dm/wm are you using? if it's not KDE, maybe there's something else that indigenous to your dm/wm that over rides aumix. just guessing there, 'cause the above methods worked for me.

paleo Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 take a look at http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=5730 this should fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I use alsa but I tried OSS and this is what sndconfig on Debian put in modules.conf ### update-modules: start processing /etc/modutils/sndconfig#alias sound-slot-0 es1371 #post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : #pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ML won't have "/etc/modutils/sndconfig" or an "/etc/modutils/"....anything, but it should still work.....or maybe not. :wink: You should have a global /etc/aumixrc and a ~/.aumixrc.

iphitus Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 On my computer upon startup it says: Doing alsactrl to restore mixer settings...... [ OK Does it doe this for you? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Really though, we need to know if you're using alsa or OSS. What's in /etc/modules.conf ? If alsa, install, if it's not already, alsaguimixer>open it>set your settings and close, and alsa should do the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleo Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 adding the line aumix -L to ~/.bashrc should restore the settings when you log on whether or not you're using alsa. You must save the aumix settings first, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
