I have created a script that uses festival to say a greeting imediately after boot up.  However the default sound level is too low and the greeting is hard to hear.  Once the computer is booted up I can manualy adjust the sound with the volume control on the DSL desktop to a usable level but that does not help for the bootup message.

Is there a way to change the default level to a higher setting with a parameter within some file or some other method?

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Yes.

You can install the aumix command line mixer program.

Then you can add an aumix command to your startup script that will increase the volume for you.

A good place to store this is in your /opt/bootlocal.sh startup script.

Thanks for the information, cbagger01.  I guess aumix can be found somewhere in Debian sites?  I did not see it in any of the dsl apps.  I will search some more for it and try it out when I find it.

Thanks

You can choose "Enable APT" from the menu or "Synaptic" if you prefer the graphical tool.

You should then be able to do something like:

sudo apt-get install aumix

from an xterminal window.

Cbagger01, you have made my day!  It works great.  You also showed me how to use some functions within DSL that I was vaguely aware of but had never tried.  This is great!

Thank you very much.
