amixer and systemd issues?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I've been scratching my head for the last couple of days due to 
crackling playback after boot.

I have a very simple unit file, that however does not seem to work. The 
service part:

------
...
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes

# Setting up the HAMMERFALL soundcard.
ExecStart=/usr/bin/amixer -D hw:HAMMERFALL sset 'IEC958 Input Connector' 
'Coaxial'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/amixer -D hw:HAMMERFALL sset 'Preferred Sync Source' 
'IEC958 In'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/amixer -D hw:HAMMERFALL sset 'ADAT1 Input Source' 'ADAT1'
ExecStart=/usr/bin/amixer -D hw:HAMMERFALL sset 'Sync Mode' 'Master'
...
------

That, according to journalctl, does actually work:

Nevertheless, sound is still bad. However, if I run:

# /usr/bin/amixer -D hw:HAMMERFALL sset 'Preferred Sync Source' 'IEC958 In'

on the command line, even directly after running above unit file 
manually, everything sounds as expected. I can run above unit file a 
dozend times, it won't fix the sound, though.

Now I am wondering, what is the difference bewteen using the command 
line and running amixer via ExecStart?

Any known issues here? Anything obvious that I've missed? I am running a 
recent arch and would kindly ask this not to be an excuse for another 
general systemd discussion, if somehow possible.

Thanks

Ede
