any easy way to change alsa from muting at startup

There is an alsa-save command, but I'm not positive that the command is actually alsa-save. If you type alsa and press tab to show the possible commands, you'll see it. All you'd have to do it set the volume where you want it and execute the save command.

I'll look it up and I get some. I have to use windows here.

Code:

simple@elemental:~$ alsa
alsaconf   alsactl    alsalisp   alsamixer

any of those might be the one?

Use "alsactl store" to save your settings. You must also take a look at /etc/modprobe.conf (or similar) because some distros use this command to save settings on exit and restore them on reboot.
For more:

Code:

man alsactl

hmm

Code:

alsactl store

makes volume control not use mute as default now, but it makes the "volume" track at mute, so i still need to turn that up. i had it all the way up whilst saving it, and i didn't add alsactl "restore" i'm guessing it would be to modules for startup..but it isn't muting PCM2 which is making me think it's restoring something because that is what was muted in the first place, so i don't know

First run "alsamixer" to unmute and adjust the volume for all the channels you want and then run "alsactl store" to save these settings (in /etc//etc/asound.state). "alsactl restore" is used at system startup to restore your settings.

I had some problem in getting sound configured right. And I used alsa modules. I have detailed all about it at

Hope this helps.

with my soundchip it's lame, there's two choices "HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)" and with that it uses "Realtek ALC880 (OSS Mixer)" i've had trouble getting sound with the alsa mixer, there is no sound. with gstreamer i have the default output sink asla and default source oss, i think the stupid intel chipset 915gv is confusing me too much :/
