this weeks question !

bynaar · 10-15-2002, 05:15 PM

hello !

Everytime I boot up my slackbox, the soundmixer is on a very loud
setting.
This is quite annoying, especially late at night / or using headphones ! (I (my ears) dont like the soundchock!)
The question is therefore: Is it possibe / how do I set things up so that the soundmixer is set at a lower level or the settings that was used at previous sessions ?

1001 things to configure running linux !

in your runlevel directories (not sure what they're called on slack (/etc/rc.d/rc5.d ?) you should have a "sound" file, which should take values from /etc/.aumixrc or something similar. you can save a set of preferences from aumix to that file, if it doesn't exist already. just haev a little nosey around the SXXSound file...

There is no rcx.d in slackware, only /etc/rc.d.

The easiest way is probably to grab a command line mixer like cmix and add something like
cmix pcm 50

to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it'll get run on every bootup.

You probably should read this prior post on this question from about three weeks ago.
