[mythtv-users] Automatically setting amixer volume

[Andrew Cockburn]

I had the same problem and it drove me mad for a while. The trick is 
this - in my case it was the logon to KDE that reset that slider to 
zero, so although your rc.local trick might have been working, it may 
have been set back to zero again. Although I never found the root cause, 
I fixed it by creating a shell script with the amixer command, which I 
called from a shortcut in KDE's startup folder.

Regards,

Andrew
