hello again, i still havent been able to fix the problem of the self-setting pcm_front channel. i have no idea where or how this happens. wasnt able to find anything logged about it, nor was i able to google a resolution or even find a hint in the soundcardlist. this is my soundcard: cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [SI7018 ]: SI7018 - SiS SI7018 SiS SI7018 PCI Audio at 0xd800, irq 11 1 [UART ]: MPU-401 UART - MPU-401 UART MPU-401 UART at 0x300, irq 10 this didnt happen with a previous install of xubuntu, but i dont quite see the difference or what could be the problem as i now use ubuntu. if i open up a alsamixer i can see the volume go up everytime i play something, resetting just works for the playing song/movie, next title and it goes up again. may this be a gnome problem? i fiddled every option related to sound in gnome i could find but to no avail. someone help me out please, the sound is just terrible this way (distorts when pcm_front sets itself to 100%), and i dont have any other music source then this machine. id gladly try out whatever tip you can give me. thanks, jonas On Sat, 2006-10-14 at 19:56 +0100, sonicx wrote: > hy, > im a little bit confused - i use alsa for quite some time now, but one > of my systems (a diskless ubuntu) keeps resetting the volume of the > front_pcm chan to 100% everytime i play something through it. if i play > a song, set it to 80% it stays like that till the next song plays and > then resets. strangely the mastervolume doesnt act like that and is > correctly saved at reboot. it doesnt matter what program i use - as soon > as it tries to access the spu anew it set front to 100% again. none of > my other systems has that problem. this happends regardless of the > nfsroot being writable or not. the homedirs are always rw. also - the > gnomemixer crashes when this happens. everytime, if i set the volume > down before.this cant be the usual behavior. > could somebody point me in the right direction? > jonas > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
