alsactl restore and Jarod's guide

I have just about everything working and have been using Myth for a few
weeks. There are a few details I'm trying to iron out. First is getting
the ALSA settings restored on boot. I followed Jarod's guide and a few
other suggestions from more Linux savvy friends, but the only method
that seems to work is to manually run "/usr/sbin/alsactl restore" after
a reboot. Am I missing something? I'm running Myth 0.17 on FC 3 w/
2.6.10-1.770 kernel.

And yes, I RTFM.

Thanks,

-Bill

Just put it in /etc/rc.local so it gets run at bootup.

I think this is a known limit on FC3 currently. Jarod has a nice
shell script documented here:

Works great for me on several boxes. Are you sure its actually being run on
your system?

Bill could you reproduce your /etc/rc.local on the mailing list ?
One thing you need to do is make sure the command is full path.
Relative paths are not guaranteed to work from system shell scripts.
Also, if your alsa layer isn't initialized yet it won't work either.
Try adding a modprobe snd-card-driver before the alsactl. FC3 is
supposed to start up the sound driver though so I don't think this
would be your problem.

e.g. /usr/sbin/alsactl restore

Odd, try running it out of
/home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh (which
Jarod's guide has you create).

You know, in reflection, I think I had an issue as
well... Try to chmod 777 /etc/asound.state, and then
give it a go.

In running it out of the myth-load.sh, I think that's
what I did... not really secure, but hey, it's a sound
file ya' know?

My /etc/rc.local looks like:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/sbin/modprobe lirc_gpio
/sbin/modprobe lirc_serial
/usr/sbin/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 --output=/dev/lircd
/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1
--output=/dev/lircd1 --pidfile=/var/run/lircd1.pid
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off
/usr/bin/mtd --daemon
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe it87
# sleep 2 # optional
/usr/bin/sensors -s # recommended
# restore sound settings
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore

Thanks,

I have it in /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/myth-load.sh. I will try the
chmod 777 and see what it does. I'll have to test later as it's
recording now.

I never could get alsactl to restore my settings but this might help if you
are using KDE.

Launch Kmix and set everything up as you like. Then minimize it. Then log
out of KDE, which will cause KDE to remember your settings, and log back in.

Worked for me.

Not to sound dense, but other than seeing if the sound settings are
correct, how would I determine if it ran? I know the /etc/rc.local is at
least being run as the other commands are working. no idea about the KDE
startup script as the sound settings restore is the only command there.

If you're running KDE, you can just run kmix, have it
stay on the taskbar and tell it to save parameters on
exit, it does pretty much the same thing, and I've
used it in the past.

Is anything else called from the script launched? Does it have any effect if
you run the script by hand? Are you positive the script is set to be
executable?

Just curious, and hope I haven't missed this in the thread; what user are
you running alsamixer as? If it stores the settings in ~/something,
alsactl probably won't find it since rc.local is run as root and will look
in root:s home folder.

Easy peasy. It's just a shell script so add a

set -x to the first line of the script. This should force bash to
print diagnostics when it runs.
