hi list,
yesterday i successfully replaced the debian alsa drivers/libs/etc with
the selfcompiled ones, v1.0.14rc3 - and (almost) everything works
wonderful!
well, the only thing what does not work as previously is that the
alsamixer settings for my onboard device (intel8x0) are not restored
after a reboot - everything muted!
if i plug the usb interface, the mixer is not muted, but there are some
old settings saved, and if i change the settings, on the next boot they
are not restored too.
plugin the multiface(cardbus) works wery well, since we use the
'hdspmixer' and not the 'alsamixer' for that one.
Debian stores asound.state in a non-standard location (somwhere under
/var IIRC). I think the easiest fix is to replace your self-compiled
alsactl with Debian's, or hack the startup/shutdown scripts to
save/restore asound.state where you want it.
I doubt there's anything special about their version of alsactl, they
probably just do what you're suggesting in an init script.
(On gentoo, the relevant script is called /etc/init.d/alsasound.)
On shutdown, you want to do:
alsactl store
On startup, you want to do:
alsactl restore
problem solved!
me ashamed, cause it was pretty much easier than i was thinking.
i create a file in the /etc/init.d called 'alsasoundresotoremixer',
containing only:
alsactl restore
and a file called 'alsasoundstoremixer', containing:
alsactl store
making them both executable,
than i made some syn-links:
/etc/rc0.d/K15alsasoundstoremixer
/etc/rc1.d/K15alsasoundstoremixer
/etc/rc6.d/K15alsasoundstoremixer
/etc/rcS.d/S59alsasoundrestoremixer
to the both,
and it works now very well, the mixer settings are restored on a new boot,
if i do some changes, i don't have to store by myself, on the next boot the
changes are restored!
this actually all is documented in the alsa-wiki, but i was confused
of how many different 'tipps' are listed there!
very much thanks for support!!
cheers,
doc
