Bug 47286 – add post mixer restore script to /etc/init.d/alsasound

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Carter Smithhart 2004-04-08 17:17:16 UTC]

/etc/init.d/alsasound.patch: provides the ability to write driver specific scripts, but I needed to provide a post driver load script, so here's a potential patch to solve this problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I added a emu10k1-post script in /etc/alsa.d that contains:
smith@innervision smithhcl $ cat /etc/alsa.d/emu10k1-post
#!/bin/bash
amixer set "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" off

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
this patch provides the ability to add post mixer restore scripts per sound
driver. I ran into a problem where alsactl save/restore wasn't saving the
digital off/on setting, so I added a post mixer restore script and now
everything works.


Another solution would be to modify /etc/init.d/alsasound to execute the
commands that I needed to run, but I thought this patch was a better approach.

please post this a plain text.

I thought this functionality was already in there...

The problem is that the driver specific script gets executed before the mixer restore. The mixer restore step erases this one mixer setting and sets it to "on".

amixer set "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack" off

So my solution was to add a post-mixer-restore-per-driver script that allowed me to execute the above line AFTER the mixer restore.

Perhaps there's another solution though?

right... but if you set it to off and save your mixer settings, it should be off next time they're restored...  if they're not, then that is a bug in alsactl.

I don't know if anything was done to solve this problem... But it's fixed as of alsa 1.0.5
