Re: mixer levels on boot

My 6.2 system saves and restores the mixer settings across boots. Apparently in the file /var/db/mixer0-state However, the file is root owned and 644; perhaps if you create the file and chmod it writable, your settings will stick?

Or you could put the command in your script. "mixer -S" dumps the current settings in a format mixer can read back. I do this in a script that dribbles music on hold to our phone system:


mixer_default="vol 45:45 pcm 40:40"

# Call mixer command to set params specified in conf file, or defaults.
set_mixer() {
if [ -f $home_dir/mixer.conf ]; then
mixer `cat $home_dir/mixer.conf`
echo "set mixer.conf params"
else
mixer $mixer_default
echo "set mixer default values"
fi
}
