Alsa Mixer Settings

Alsa Mixer Settings

[Ian Davidson]

I am running Fedora Core 4 and I use the machine to record.  On various 
occasions I have updated the software.  Sometimes ALSA Mixer remembers 
the settings from one boot to another - and sometimes it forgets.  
Currently, it is in a 'forgetting mood' so each time I boot, the 
settings are the same as last time I BOOTED. I change them, but when I 
boot again, there they are back at the old settings again.  (This is not 
zero or maximum, but somewhere in between)

I presume that ALSA Mixer uses some file somewhere to record the 
settings it is going to start with.  Where should I look?

Under Debian there is a script in /etc/init.d/alsa-utils that restores
the alsamixer settings on startup and saves on shutdown.  SuSE has the
same in /etc/init.d/alsasound

Likely Fedora has the same thing- only it is broken on your setup. :D 

I would report the bug to the Fedora bugzilla:
