Ubuntu Multimedia :: ALSA Mixer Returns To Default Settings On Restart
Dec 24, 2010
I notice that each time I boot my computer, under the playback section of the ALSA Mixer the 'Speaker' volume control is turned all the way down. Even when I return it to the proper level, and then restart my computer later, the slider for 'Speaker' seems to default back to the previous state mentioned above. Is there a way to set the default for the ALSA mixer in a .conf file of some sort so that the default setting for 'Speaker' is always at max?

I have a Logitech clearchat pro usb headset and it works really well. However every time I plug it in I have to turn up its volume in alsa mixer. Also so that the right volume slider is controlled (by the volume keys) I have to change the output in pavucontrol. Does anyone know of a way that I can make this happen on its own? I guessed writing a udev rule might work (not that I have ever done one), but I don't know the commands that are equivalent to what I do.

Im using Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha1. I plugged in a set of headphones, and it cut out my speakers. I know how to fix this in Alsa Mixer, but the command for it obviously isnt the same as Karmic.
I type Alsa Mixer, it says Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume}
Anyone know a way to open A.M. that it will.

ALSA mixer resets my speaker volume to zero and changes my USB headset volume to a very low level. How can I get ALSA Mixer to remember my volume settings from last boot or if there's no other option, a way I can make it adjust the levels to a predetermined level automatically on startup. I'm using 10.10 with pulseaudio.

Using debian testing.
Pulseaudio got installed by default here during installtion. Since I don't want it I first ran "systemctl disable pulseaudio", "pulseaudio --kill", then without rebooting I use mpd with alsa alone and it worked fine.
But then i rebooted, and now all applications, mpd, mpv, chromium etc just says that alsa returns with "Device or resource busy", tried rebooting again with no effect.
The soundcard appears as card 1 according to the output of "aplay -l", and defined that card 1is suposed to be default with this in "/etc/asound.conf":
Code: Select allpcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
It occurred to me that there might be an issue with permissions to the soundcard so I ran "ls -l /dev/snd"
Code: Select alldrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Mar 31 03:27 by-path
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 8 Mar 31 03:27 controlC0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 2 Mar 31 03:27 controlC1
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 12 Mar 31 03:27 hwC0D0
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 7 Mar 31 03:27 hwC1D0
[Code] ....
My user is a part of the audio group:
Code: Select alluid=1000(roberth) gid=1000(roberth) groups=1000(roberth),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),108(netdev),111(scanner)
As far as I can tell, that looks fine unless I am missing something?

I have installed xubuntu version 10. My sound card is a Yamaha dS-1S, and seems to be properly configured. Alsa mixer doesn't indicates any error. However, I can't manage to get any sound. I have checked that jacks are correctly plugged.

I've recently encountered a sound issue and I recently installed the nvidia gt220 in my box and was thrilled at how well it worked with hdmi until I tried to use the audio. I updated my alsa and went into the alsamixer and it does detect my gt220. I unmuted all spdif and tested the sound and with success the sound test works. I know the card and device numbers that work with the audio but now sure where to make changes so it will default to that device instead of the onboard audio that it seems to try to use now. I am running lucid 10.04.

I just did a reinstall of Debian testing last night, and today I am configuring the system to my liking. I just clicked on the mixer in the tray, and the only option I get is Realtek ALC269. Before I could use ALSA. What happened, and how can I get ALSA back?
I did an "apt-get install alsa" to see if I could even get ALSA, and it downloaded and installed. I still can't seem to get ALSA working down there.

I've got an Acer 7736 and had quite a few issues with no sound after my install of 10.10. After quite a bit of fiddling I managed to get that sorted and I now how have sound. I believe I'm using alsa although pulse also does seem to be on here. The reason I say I believe I'm using alsa is that after startup, I have no sound on speakers unless I unmute it in alsamixer.
As I understand it alsa's supposed to save your settings on logout/shutdown/reboot but this doesn't appear to be the case, and I'm not able to find any asound.conf or the like in the places they're apparently supposed to be.

I am experiencing problems with the Gnome ALSA Mixer. I installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro inside Windows (I am running Windows via bootcamp), and when I am running Ubuntu the sound doesn't work. After researching the problem online, I was told that one needed to download an application called the "Gnome ALSA Mixer", and switch the mute to off (apparently the mute is default). I downloaded the application, but whenever I try to run it the application window is blank. There are no controls of any sort. I was told when installing Ubuntu inside windows that the disk efficiency (I think thats what is was) is very much reduced, but I don't know if this has anything to do with that.
Also, is there a way to prevent the trackpad from registering stimulus while typing? I find it very obnoxious that every time I try to type in my password or the like that the curser clicks off of where I'm typing, so I am constantly having to move the pointer back and re-click in the area I'm trying to type in (if that makes sense).

This is probably one of those situations easy to solve but I haven't had any success as I've been messing around with the sound handling in my system.
I found it had running ALSA, OSS and PulseAudio and ended up purging everything in the system except for ALSA. Pulse Audio, for some reason, would shut down the sound-card when I muted sound though keyboard shortcut; after that, I had to manually open the sound table and enable a master control that would always remained closed.
Now, after purging the system of the excess baggage, ALSA will not retain the settings of the user; system will always reboot with PCM sound control fully closed.

I'm having an issue using MPD currently, using sonata as the front end. Quick specs are as follows:
Code: Fedora 13 x64 - Linux ltp01 2.6.34.8-68.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Feb 17 15:03:58 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux MPD version - mpd (MPD: Music Player Daemon) 0.15.11 Here is my mpd.conf file contents: Code: # An example configuration file for MPD # See the mpd.conf man page for a more detailed description of each parameter.
[Code]...
I googled my issue, and didn't come up with much to help me. Any advice on this? It's not a completely pressing issue, but I would like to know what is going on and how I can fix this, since I never messed with MPD before in my life.

The gnome also mixer keeps reverting to external amplifier checked. To get sound every day I have to open that and uncheck external amplifier. Is there a way to make that permanent? I have never used an ext amplifier and this started with Lucid install, Also under the edit menu and sound card properties it has ext amp checked and if I uncheck it , it won't save and goes right back to checked

I just bought an HP Pavilion dv7-1273cl and it works excellent except for the sound and the webcam, the result for lspci is as follows:
lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Memory Controller Hub (rev 07)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset PCI Express Graphics Port (rev 07)
00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #4 (rev 03)
00:1a.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #5 (rev 03)
00:1a.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #2 (rev 03)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
Gnome volume control shows that HDA Intel(Alsa mixer) is selected and as a default the speaker is muted, if I unmute it, an infinite loop-like sound plays and no application seems to have access to the sound, I believe the correct module is installed by default, and the webcam does not work as well. I'm using debian squeeze i386.

I have 5.1-speaker set, confed succesfully with alsa. alsamixer -c 0 -command shows volume of all the speakers I want to set up. My problem is, when I have alsamixer open and change main volume from gnome-panel (it's called pavucontrol for me, pulseaudio?) it "resets" all speakers to max (100%). Only master volume changes like planned. For example, if I have front speakers set to 50%, center to 75%, surround to 100%, subwoofer to 40%, when changing volume from gnome's panel it only changes master volume, and puts every other speaker to max. How to prevent this? Do you have any clue? I had not any problems with this in openSUSE 11.1. Alt+F2 not working with Emerald decorator Screens go black after 10 minutes or so in openSUSE 11.2

I recently upgraded from FC11 to FC14 by backing up /home, saving the output of "rpm -qa", repartitioning, installing FC14, restoring /home, re-running "rpm -qa" and installing packages that I had before.
But I noticed that the nice GUI mixer that I had before which could allow me separately muting the speakers (conneced to "front" jack) while leaving the signal to the headphone
jack is missing. I think it was an ALSA mixer but I'm not 100% sure. I downloaded alsa-driver-1.0.24.tar.bz2 but after

I recently bought a logitech headset which is working very nice, the thing is that I cannot make it my default device when I plug it in. I edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to make snd-usb-audio the default card but it only works when the computer is turned on with the headset plugged in. A workaround is to plug it and then "alsa force-reload" but I find it very ugly plus it kills all apps using audio and leaves the volume indicator unstable.

I run Ubuntu 9.04 on with proprietary NVidia driver 180.44.When I change anything in the nvidia-settings, e.g. screen resolution, brightness, second screen etc, everything works fine - except for the fact that I can't play any video files in any player. Sound is there, players don't display any error messages, but the image is black. Flash video within browsers is fine, though.Things go back to normal with the new settings kept after restarting X. However, having to restart X and lose my desktop set up every time when I just want to connect my laptop to my office screen is highly inconvenient.Is this a bug or expected behaviour that I have to live with?

I use headphones and have an MCP73 sound device; am running OpenSUSE 11.4.
On each restart, I get no sound. I have to go to YAST, Hardware, Sound, Other, Volume. The 'Other channels', Front slider is at 0%. If I slide it up to 100%, my headphones start working. At this point the Help text says to press 'Next' to save the settings, but there isn't a 'Next' button...just a Cancel and OK. OK keeps the new setting, but apparently doesn't save it permanently.
What can I do to avoid having to reset this slider every time ?

I am running F12 and I use Amarok to manage/play my music library.
I keep having a problem where the mixer 'Surround' in my alsa volume gets maxed whenever I switch tracks in Amarok. I want to stop this from happening because it causes my speakers to buzz just loudly enough to drive me crazy.
I have an SB Live! 5.1 (emu10k1) card.

Since I installed the system-wide equalizer I've been having some problems with my sound system. The problem is it has changed some system settings (visible in gconf) and after I uninstall it, I can't change any sound settings, except the volume in a given application, but the system-wide volume doesn't work, even the tray icon shows three dashes next to the little speaker and the sound settings won't start. I'd like to revert the settings to the original after removing the equalizer, as at this moment I can't change any settings even with the equalizer enabled. Is there any way to reset the sound settings
(I suppose it must be in gconf, but I don't know what the values should be. Currently the musicaudiosink settings are: audioresample ! audioamplify amplification=0 ! pulsesinkv)
Those are the settings that definitely changed after installing the equalizer, but they obviously won't change back after uninstalling it.

As the title suggests, I have to restart alsa everytime I restart the computer. Obviously that's pretty annoying.
So once restart I normally do:
Code:
sudo alsa force-restart
It will then give me a few warnings (see screenshot 2) and then unload and reload all the drivers and everything works fine.
