I've had alsa installed without problems on a different computer, and went to install it on this one due to some advice I'd read regarding my soundcard. It works fine, but for some reason my mixer settings aren't staying between boots.
I've checked the /etc/init.d/alsa script, and it calls alsactl to store and restore mixer settings, and, since it doesn't specify a location, it should store them at /etc/asound.state -- which exists and is populated. Unfortunately, I find that the first time I want to play anything, I have to open a mixer (I use gmix), which then sets the levels, before I can hear anything. Anybody else experience this or know of a way around it? -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
