[mythtv-users] ALSA Working But Not Remembering Settings

[ben]

Yeah I had a similar problem even though I have alsa starting with the
init scripts, it would not restore my settings.  I just added "alsactl
restore" to my rc.local and everything was happy again.

Subject: [mythtv-users] ALSA Working But Not Remembering Settings


So after having no success with RH9 and ALSA I went back to RH8.  This
time I'm not even messing with Myth until I can get ALSA working ;-)

Things are good so far except for three quirks:

1. I get the same old RH9 message on login:
Error while initializing the sound driver
device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device. which I
have now supressed as it seems to be unrelated

2. When I run:
aplay file.wav
it says:
aplay: main:480: audio open error: No such file or directory But if I
run: modprobe snd-sb16 and run the exact same aplay command again it
opens the wav file successfully - though no sound comes from the
speakers, which leads to...

3. It seems that alsamixer is not saving the settings between reboots
even when I run: alsactl -f /etc/asound.state store (from the alsactl
folder) after setting the levels, and Capturing & Muting Line In

Anyone know how to stop the need for the modprobe and how to force the
mixer to save?

Thanks

Alex
