Hey there,
Every time I boot, I've got to set up alsamixer anew.
I already tried
sudo alsactl store
but this wont do the trick.
What could be the reason?
Thanks,
Max
EDIT: When i run
sudo alsctl restore
after booting, my desired settings are applied.

Have you added also the alsa daemon to /etc/rc.conf? You shouldn't need to run alsctl restore anymore.

I probably made this post longer than it should only because I lack the time to make it shorter.

also are you setting the levels in alsamixer as root or as your regular user?
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Thanks marfig, that did it.
But I'm still confused.
How come alsa worked perfectly even without having the daemon run?
Running a daemon just to restore the settings?
Sorry, I still got to learn a lot.

Well, it's not really a daemon. If you look at what it actually does, it's
/usr/sbin/alsactl $ALSA_ARGS restore
and that's it.
Optionally it can also handle the power of the sound chip, but even that is just a command, not something that runs all the time like a real daemon would.

You and I.
However, I think this is an alternative, and probably more elegant, solution to changing your kernel module options in /etc/modprob.conf as suggested in http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Using … lume_state. The daemon also shuts itself down once it does its thing. So not extra resources, as minimal as they may be, are used up.
I hope I'm right with that assessment, but this is what I've gathered from my readings on this matter.

I still have this problem, but I was too lazy to research so I just wrote a script to raise my volume levels everytime xfce starts up Glad I found this.
