alsa settings not saved

darkleaf · 08-18-2004, 04:40 AM

Since I upgraded to KDE 3.3 my alsa settings don't save anymore. I have tried to reconfigure alsa-base to autosave always but it doesn't work. When I reboot the line that says it stores the alsa settings is there but after the reboot all volumes are at 0 again. I disabled the kde soundserver BTW cause it doesn't allow more than 1 program using the sound card.

Have you tried this?

Open a terminal, issuing "alsmixer" as a normal user and set the mixer.
Then login as root and issue "alsactl store" to save the settings.
This is the proper way according to the instructions from ALSA.

Tried to save the settings with `/usr/sbin/alsactl store' (as root)?

Try "Auto-suspend if idle after" "0 seconds" (KDE/Soundsystem). I had a simmilar problem. KDE blocked the sound for XMMS, but after setting the idle time to 0 sec., the problem was solved.

I am having the same problem.

Ran alsamixer as normal user
As root ran alsactl store

logged in as the normal user and the settings were all still there.

The i started X, opened a terminal and ran alsamixer and the settings are gone..

Mine saved after I restarted alsa

Code:

/etc/init.d/alsasound restart
