problems with volume controlling..?
 

I go to "open volumecontrol", and choose output.
Then I have three choices:
1. dmix:0
2. Internal Audio Analog Stereo
3. Internal Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958)

I want it to be nr. 2, so I set a mark on nr. 2, and everything works as I want it to.
But, when I restart the computer, the mark has jumped down to nr. 3.

Why does this happen? I want it to always be on nr. 2, not nr. 3.

Thanks for answers :)

Have you tried 'alsactl store' ? This will save your setting to /etc/asound.state

You might also want to add alsa to default runlevel if you have not already done it.

Check 'rc-update -s' to see whether alsa is already loaded as default

if it is not do this 'rc-update add alsasound default'

Alsa was loaded in default.

When I type "alsactl store", is it just to type it in the terminal as root. Or is there more I have to do?

Try first by typing it in the terminal / konsole. Or you might want to check for 'alsactl --help' for more info.

I sat the volume control to nr. 2, I typed in "sudo alsactl store", but it went down to nr. 3 again as soon as i re-started. I also tried to type in just "alsactl store". So that command probably won't store the settings I make for the output.

The problem is with pulseaudio. I had the same problem. To solved this I did:
mv /usr/bin/pulseaudio /usr/bin/pulseaudio.stfu && reboot

This command is disabling pulseaudio. On restarting X you will be have message about lost device, click ok.
It's brutal method but it's working. Now the alsamixer is stored correctly and kmix is displaing good volume controls.
"alsactl store" working correctly.
