Ok I have this problem where my sound is outputted through my front right speaker. Now the fix was to do:

rm asound.state
alsaconf
alsamixer
alsactl store

That works fine.....until I reboot then I need to do it again. It keeps resetting to one right speaker. Its kinda annoying does anyone know how to fix this?

asound.state:

after you pressing the commands before you reboot tha last command that is : alsactl store

tou need to write like that

alsactl store 0

try this

i hope i help ...
rot

nope didn't work I noticed when I shutdown there is a command for alsa called during shutdown aslactl restore.....I thik this may doing it.....any ideas?

Ah the alsactl restore go off during startup but I don't know why or where its getting that data from there must be a way to set what I set to default?

try this:
after you re-calibrate alsa and you have your sound working
go into kde's control center
sound & multimedia
mixer
save current volumes


kde might be resetting your volume levels

that worked great! Thanks
