hi rectorydp, The asound.state should be restored after a reboot. When you did a 'sudo alsactl store' did you also do a 'sudo filetool.sh -b'. This saves your new asound.state into mydata.tcz that is restored after a reboot. Sorry, asound.state is not preserved between any upgrades. Hmmm.... it should be. I don't believe /usr/local/etc/init.d/alsasound is ever run, but there are other 'generic' alsa startup files with similar issues that I think are run. Oh, I just remembered, on the 'Tweaks page' > 'ALSA output level' needs to be set to custom to run a 'sudo alsactl restore' at startup. regards Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
