Hello,
I had no sound on my spekers, so I checked alsamixer and all levels where zero. I ajusted them and all was fine. - Until the next reboot. - After reboot every fader is down to zero again.
Any idea?

Hi
From the command line use the alsactl command to save the alsamixer state. On my ('buntu based) system you need to be root so I use:

Try storing the alsamixer configuration to a file in your home directory, without sudo. So, after fixing alsamixer, do a:
alsactl store -f ~/my_asound.state (name the file as you wish)
Restart the computer and try:
alsactl restore -f ~/my_asound.state
If this works, make the last command execute automatically at login.

Hi Pablo,
sorry for the delay - i had other problems (graphics-card)
Your sugestion works brilliant, if I do it maualy. But as put
Code: Select all
restore -f ~/.config/asound.state
in a script and included it in
System Settings -> Autostart my system hangs on reoot.
I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 with KXStudio.
Any sugestions?

You mean
Code: Select all
alsactl restore -f ~/.config/asound.state
Maybe, make it wait a bit?
Code: Select all
sleep 10 && alsactl restore -f ~/.config/asound.state

Sorry,
sure I meant
Code: Select all
alsactl restore -f ~/.config/asound.state
(wrong copy and paste).
My question is, in which file I should write that command?

I am sorry, I don't use KDE. Maybe, search the internet for "KDE autostart".
Cheers! Pablo

Ok I put the skript in the .kde/Autostart folder. But them my system hangs on reboot. The skcipt looks like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# restore alsamixe settings
sleep 10 && alsactl restore -f ~/.config/asound.state

Just a thought. Have you tried running this from a terminal to see if it throws up any error messages?

Okay......
It was my fault. The script was not set to be executable.
Now it's working.
Thanks Pablo
