Good morning,
Whenever I boot a Fedora 26 box, the front headphone jack is muted
and volume
set to zero. No insertion or removal of the cable is detected.
I have to use alsamixer to un-mute and bring the volume up. Then I
use alsactl
store command and I can see that /var/lib/alsa/asound.state is
being updated:
control.11 {
iface MIXER
name 'Headphone Playback Switch'
value.0 false
value.1 false
comment {
access 'read write'
type BOOLEAN
count 2
}
}
changes to
control.11 {
iface MIXER
name 'Headphone Playback Switch'
value.0 true
value.1 true
comment {
access 'read write'
type BOOLEAN
count 2
}
}
But these changes are never persisted across reboots. What is
missing which is
preventing the mute state and volume from being restored at boot time?
I am connecting to the card 0:
[use0@localhost asound]$ cat cards
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xfe024000 irq 16
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfdefc000 irq 32
Thank you
Alex
What does alsamixer look like after doing a 'store' followed by a
'restore'?
If it looks OK, then do you have a startup script that runs 'alsactl
restore' on boot? Or does that Fedora version use systemd?
Fedora uses systems. I don't know what scripts it has and where.
Sorry, hit Enter prematurely. I meant to add, that if I store and restore,
everything is Okay, but after a reboot the headphones jack is muted again and
volumes set to zero.
It sounds like the systemd alsa service isn't enabled, or it's
missing.
I'm not that familiar with systemd nor the correct name of the
service file it uses on fedora, but usually something like:
systemctl enable/disable <service name>
is used. So try
systemctl enable alsa
If the name is wrong or the service file is missing it will output an
error.

I wish systemd was not a thing! Alas,
http://slackware.com ;)
I wish all my users have been migrated. Until then, is Fedora distro
builder misusing ALSA? What do I need to tell them to either enable
detection of attached front panel cables, or storing and properly
restoring the volume and mute state? Saving is working, but then
something overwrites the configuration during the shutdown or boot
process. Unfortunately I cannot remove PulseAudio, and it is my
understanding that all these systemd services are needed as crutches to
let PA run.
Thank you!
Alex
