[mythtv-users] Re: [ATrpms-users] mixer always muted in FC4 withnew alsa packages

The following worked for me on FC3 with the same problem.

Many people have also encountered trouble with the volume repeatedly being 
muted after reboot (despite adjusting the mixer before rebooting). If you 
experience this issue, the way to fix it is to open a terminal window, and 
issue the following command (as root).


Code:

/sbin/MAKEDEV -d /etc/udev/devices/ sound

Yes - this seems to happen on upgrades, I've found. What I do is use a
mixer to get sound working and then save the asound.state file to
something like /etc/asound.state.good using alsactl.

Then I have this line in /etc/rc.local:
/usr/sbin/alsactl -f /etc/asound.state.good restore

Haven't had any problems since I started doing this other than one
version of an alsa upgrade didn't like the format of the saved file so
I had to save it again.
