patch for alsasount init script
Please use 'diff -Naurp' to create your patches. What is RESTORE_ON_START set to youu /etc/conf.d/alsasound? it is set to "yes", sorry about the patch, thanks for the tip hmmm, cat showed weird charaters in /etc/conf.d/alsasound. i've recreated it and everything works fine. sorry, should have seen that earlier. |
The alsasound init script from alsa-utils-1.0.8 does not restore my volume levels at (re)start. Unchanged, the output looks like this: * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels... [ ok ] * Unloading ALSA... [ ok ] * Unloading ALSA modules... [ ok ] * Loading ALSA modules... * Loading: snd-card-0... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq... [ ok ] Once i modified the init script's start procedure to the following: start() { if [[ -f /proc/modules ]] ; then ebegin "Loading ALSA modules" if load_modules ; then eend 0 else eend 1 return 1 fi fi restore_mixer } output is like this: * Storing ALSA Mixer Levels... [ ok ] * Unloading ALSA... [ ok ] * Unloading ALSA modules... [ ok ] * Loading ALSA modules... * Loading: snd-card-0... [ ok ] * Loading: snd-seq... [ ok ] * Restoring Mixer Levels... [ ok ] So, restoring mixer levels works again :-) Note the extra check around restore_mixer for RESTORE_ON_START in the unmodified script seems not needed anyway: the first thing the restore_mixer procedure does is checking that variable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. # /etc/init.d/alsasound restart or 1. # reboot Actual Results: volume levels are not restored Expected Results: restore volume levels
