If you are using X most of the time you can put it in HOME/.xinitrc or
whatever you use when starting X. I have:
aumix -v100

Re: Setting Sound volumn

2002-10-18 Thread Shawn Lamson
I'm not sure about aumix but I use rexima ("amixer" backward) and i put
a line in /etc/rc.local as follows:
rexima vol 60 cd 100 pcm 100
and that would set those values for me on bootup... this assumes you
use a rc.local file and that aumix would accept similar input from a
script.

I've used setmixer with success. apt-get it and look in 
/etc/setmixer.conf, IIRC.

Best,

You don't set a value in a file, you use a mixer program to set it.
aumix works for me, and it saves all the volume settings to a file on
shutdown and reloads on boot.

You don't really use a file, but rather a mixer.  If you don't have a
mixer installed, there are a host of choices:

$ apt-cache search mixer

I'm currently using tkmixer.  They all pretty-much work the same,
providing a means to set the volume on your sound devices, but the
interfaces are different.

If you are using ALSA, you should use alsamixer or amixer.
