Liddell No -- I have long since purged pulseaudio and all its evil spawn. My brief experience of pauvucontrol taught me to avoid it at all costs, and anyway, it's connected to pulseaudio. Likewise, no systemd on my system. Ever since KDE3, I've only used alsa, and pulseaudio only sometimes by mistake; and after going to Devuan a couple years ago) only sysvinit. I never used OpenRC or other options, only sysvinit. I regard systemd as a sure sign of the Last Days approaching. ;-) The settings in kmix-trinity get changed on reboot, which makes it a TDE problem; although, however, E suggests, the source of that problem may lie elsewhere. Anyway, it's not a crucial problem, just annoying that I must manually restore my kmix-trinity settings on every reboot. Thanks to Nik and E. Liddell for their help. Also thanks to Leslie for reminding me of .trinity/share/config/kmixctrlrc. I don't know yet if this will help, as I have no other need to reboot at the moment. (When running Devuan on a desktop machine, things get almost *too* comfortable sometimes, and I might not ever reboot unless my neighbor blows the fuse again. Which reminds me: I really need to find a power supply backup!)
