Multimedia :: WMIX Volume Defaults

I like wmix...small, easy to use and functional. But, everytime I re-boot the volume defaults back to low settings. It's not a deal-breaker but it's nice to have it set where you want it when you power up.

thanks for any help!

You could install the "aumix" command line mixer program.
This program allows you to set your mixer volume levels from the command line.

This makes it easy to add a line to your bootlocal.sh file and re-initialize your default volume levels every time that you boot up.

See the following man page for details:

hey cbagger,

thanx for the tip...was a good one and worked great...volume actually seemed to be LOUDER than the regular wmix control button!

i would like to add the setting to my boot sequence (as you suggest) but am not sure where. you mention a bootlocal.sh file but i haven't found that file.

i am running a hdd install...any suggestions??

cbagger,

your silence (altho frustrating) taught me another DSL trick...I found the bootlocal.sh (finally) and added the aumix line...worked great (you knew it would)

Thanks again

panama,

I do not use the bootlocal.sh file and I was not running DSL at the time I replied to your post. I was hoping that someone else could help you out there.

Glad to see that you figured out what you needed to do. Learning is usually fun, although I was not trying to force you to learn on your own. I just could not answer your question.
