Mark,
Set state the way you want it then do alsactl store to save it. On reboot do alsactl restore and it will reset. The easiest way to do this is to add something to your rc.local script (wherever that is depending on distribution). On RH the best thing to do is add a file to /etc/rc.d/init.d that uses chkconfig (look at some of the other files in there). On start/boot it should do alsactl restore. On stop/halt it should do alsactl store. If you set it up like some of the other scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d you should be able to turn it on by entering chkconfig FILENAME on.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] Using alsactl to preserve volume state
On the Wiki there is this advice and the following statement so
would anyone happen to know what the correct way to preserve
state across reboots for 2.6 is ?
# load/unload the volume settings on startup/shutdown
post-install snd-driver-name /usr/sbin/alsactl restore
pre-remove snd-driver-name /usr/sbin/alsactl store
This doesn't seem to work with a 2.6.0-test kernel. modprobe
simply ignores lines with these statements. Update to this
section would be appreciated.

first post (or so) here so Hi everyone.
Is there a distro out there that is best suited for audio work ? I am
currently downloading agnula's work but was wondering was you guys were
using.
As an all purpose desktop system I use mdk 9.2. There is a large number of
audio apps contributed for it but before going down that route or another, I
thought I'd take some advice.
I'd like to use software synth and a sequencer with a midi keyboard I have got
at home.
Thanks all !

Alsa recommnds this one with a DMan2044 PCI card (4-in, 4-out).
The insmod fails with "no such device"
Autodetections call for AGOPO Maestro or es1968, also Maestro. If I accept
these, they install but naturally do not play.
Hello,
Last night, we released the first development release of Gnomoradio.
Gnomoradio is a peer-to-peer music playing system that can read Creative
Commons licenses and legally share files based on them. It can play mp3
files as well as ogg's. The program is currently available in source
form for GNU/Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems.

Hello,
I wonder if anyone has a quick solution for recording audio data directly
to cd writer...
Bye

1. Are alsa drivers multi-client? (Two applications can read/write
simultaneously to the in or out--i.e. a patch controller and a sequencer
doing notes).
2. Can dummy MIDI devices be installed (virmidi?) to be used for pipelining
midi-out from one program to midi-in to another or for overcoming
single-client problems (Windows examples MidiYoke, MidiMatrix, Hubi's).
3. Seeing as wine sessions successfully enumerate the MIDI devices and
actually played to one! but no native program such as Rosegarden has--KDE has
a MIDI-mapper dialog similar to windows. Must they be set up there from /dev/
mid0 .... references?
4. Jack has been recommended. What precisely is this and how does this work?
5. Can the recommended Ardour/Jack rpm for Madrake be used on Debian?
While the audio and MIDI still do not work on my linux, I downloaded a few
packages to look at them. Gmorgan, Audour, etc.
Once they FINALLY untar, the seemingly simple and by now familiar:
./configure; make; make install. NO GO.
1. Configure--usually looking for a certain automake version. This test is
in error, but easy enough to fix up. The version string is defined up front.
Edite to what you have on your system. Now, if you've installed any needed
libraries, configure should run.
2. Make--complains about locale, defaults at least, requesting en_us, etc.
Only problem with this is that my environment IS set that way. Then it
complains about recursive directory references and aborts. A subdirectory
with the same name of one of its ancestors is not necessarily a recursive
reference so this is also a programming error. So I rerun with a
do-it-anyway option -B. Still gets to some point and aborts.
3. Make install--actually the same comments apply. After that, obviously
will not install what was not compiled.
Greetings,
I didn't see anything about this in the archives.
For about two I've been using Mandrake 8.1 with Kmix 1.90,
Broadcast 2000, and an Ensoniq ES1370 sound card to make audio
recordings. It has worked fine.
Over the weekend I installed Mandrake 9.2 on a fresh hard disk.
Then I installed Broadcast 2000 from the Mandrake 8.1 distribution.
Sound playback works fine. I can also record. However, nothing I
do with Kmix will change the record level, up or down. The
default level is quite low, with peaks hitting around -25 dBFS or
so. The source is an FM broadcast from a consumer receiver (i.e.,
-10 dB output).
I logged in as root, set all sliders to their maximum, and saved
that as the default level.
I'm sure I'm doing something very simple and stupid wrong, but I
can't figure out what it is.
Many thanks.
