Hi everyone! I was just wondering why alsamixer starts with all volume
settings in cero. I guess there should be an aswer to this, so I decided
to ask you. What I didn't know was if to ask here or to lau's list, so I
decided to go directly to the designers :-)
Also, it is possible to, at least, lstart with the main volume and
pcm/wav just a little bit raised? I think this would help when
configuring alsa, specially for newbies.
Thanks in advanced!
Cheers, Damian.-

To avoid broken loudspeakers.

One of your start scripts, notmally /etc/init.d/alsa or
/etc/init.d/alsasound, should contain a call to alsactl, which stores
mixer settings on shutdown and recalls them on reboot. What
distribution are you on?

Debian. But my concern was just because a guy in our Lug asked why the
wasn't no sound if he had just recompiled the kernel... (he was using
oss, and now switched to alsa).
Well, thank you both!

It's by design so that people don't get their ears or speakers blown by
default volumes being too high, asfaik.

The alsasound init script uses alsactl to store mixer settings when run
with the stop case. On startup it restores those settings. Once you've
installed alsasound in /etc/init.d/ and made the appropriate symlinks in
your runlevel directories this happens automatically.
Of course, it would probably help if this script got installed
automatically. It comes with the alsa-drivers tarball. I'm not sure how
demudi and ccrma deal with it. Ideally users shouldn't have to think
about it.
Thanks in advanced!
