alsa.dsl worked fine for me with a Creative Soundblaster Live 24. I'm running this in a headless MP3 jukebox, so I went through the same alsamixer muting and commandline options with amixer that Sarah's been talking about.
I have my /opt/bootlocal.sh set to:
/usr/bin/amixer set "Analog Front" 60% >/dev/null 2&1
It seems the reason that the alsamixer settings are set back to zero everytime is because it is explicitly set that way in the /etc/init.d/alsasound script. Here is the relevant section from there:
| Code Sample |
# mute master to avoid clicks at unload
#
/usr/bin/amixer set Master mute >/dev/null 2&1
#
|
(btw, if someone could tell me htf to copy text from an xterm into another application, like this web forum's pages, I'd be greatly appreciative. Sick of typing the stuff.)
There does appear to be one problem with this, alsa is supposed to restore previous settings when you reboot. It doesn't do that, and there is a message about it at boot time when alsa is setting up that says something like, "Unable to restore mixer settings". This appears to be a problem in other Linux distros as well, from what I've been able to gather on the web.
Having said all that, thanks for the package. It does a good job and sounds great.
