The problem is the udev rule to restore the volume levels fails as it is run before /usr is mounted. That's why I was asking about udev rules and why [ /usr/bin/alsactl restore ] works from the console after I've booted. After reading through the initscripts, rc.d, and mkinitcpio code I think it may be possible to run: [ run_hook sysinit_postmount udevam control --reload-rules run_hook single_end ] in rc.local. I have some research to do. My thought process was to automate the task, laziness is the mother of invention, rather than remembering to run alsactl restore after I boot. Thanks for the replies. Maybe Dave could weigh in on this for some clarification on the hooks for the rc files and if I'm on the right track. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
