Hi there!
I have for the first time come over a problem that I couldn't find an answer to in the wiki or by googleing.
My problem is when i boot up or reboot the computer the volume on the speaker and headphones is set to zero. They are not muted, but the volume bars are set to zero. I can't find a way to make them keep or remember the settings I change it to.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Heres a picture of the volume settings as they are when I have booted the machine:

Set the alsamixer as you want him to boot up and then run /usr/sbin/alsactl as root:
sudo alsactl store
This will create the file '/etc/asound.state', saving the alsamixer settings.
Also, add the alsa daemon to your DAEMONS section in /etc/rc.conf to automatically restore the mixer settings at boot.
sudo nano /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ... alsa)
Note that the alsa daemon merely restores your volume mixer levels on boot up by reading /etc/asound.state. It is separate from the alsa audio library (and kernel level API).
Expanded information available in the ALSA wiki entry.

I don't have the alsactl progam

#pacman -S alsa-utils
It is important to add "alsa" to the daemons array on /etc/rc.conf after installing alsa-utils and running alsamixer.
