ALSA - after everyboot, too loud (100% volume).

theodoiq · 2014-10-02 14:46:50

Hi!

I've beem some problems with alsa. Every time when I start my laptop, the sound is 100%... too loud.

After use "alsamixer" to normalize... and "alsactl store" to save the changes... after reboot, sound is 100% again... changes take no effect and sound is too loud again.

 $ alsactl store
alsactl: state_lock:114: file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state lock error: File exists
alsactl: state_lock:114: file /var/lib/alsa/asound.state unlock error: File exists

I've tried others ways (links below).. after reboot sound is 100% again...

2 - http://superuser.com/questions/424982/v … sound-card
3 - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pu … o/Examples

Could someone help me please?

Thanks in advance!!

The quick answer to this is try issuing the "alsactl store" command as root rather than regular user.

No changes... "alsactl store" takes no effect.
Actualy, whatever I do the volume remains 100%.

So you issued the command "alsactl store" as root and you had no success? Your initial post showed you tried as regular user and you had errors. Can you show your output when issuing with root priveleges

 [root@saber2 moon]# alsactl store
[root@saber2 moon]#

And when I play any sound or sound notification... loud, very loud :-(

That is normal output for issuing "alsactl store" as root, shows it's working. You set your volume as your regular user and then issue "alsactl store" as root and that should be all you need to do. There is also an asound.state file that you may need to remove. All that is in the alsa wiki which might be good for you to review in any case.

I've seem this procending (remove asound.state) before to open this post, like checked the alsawiki... that way didn't work for me...

Thanks any case!

I would investigate if the alsa-restore.service alsa-state.service and alsa-store.service , that are part of the alsa-utils package work properly. these are responsible for saving/restoring the values in var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
