[mythtv-users] Re: Sounds woes, FC3 Install using Jarod's Guide

[Chris Nelson]

If you want to save your alsamixer settings run "alsactl store" after
they are set, and add "alsactl restore" somewhere in your startup
scripts after the alsa modules and sound card drivers are loaded, and
it will restore your previous settings.
