Subject: Volume Control use
If you have either F7 or F6 with all the updates you will have a
Volume Control that is broken. When you click it up if your in the Alsa
mixer mode you on the right side a Microphone listed on the Playback
tab. This is wrong and if you look at the device below the Mike it shows
a speaker!
To use this bad system first turn up the Master and Master Mono to
the top and set Mike to the top. Now click File and select the TriTech
OSS Mixer. On Playback this has just one Speaker on playback and that
should be at max. Now click on the Capture tab. Here you will see 4
devices. Volume will have the little mike symbol with a read X on it.
Line in I reset to 3/4 up. Microphone is clear up but there is a red X
on the little mike so it can't work. Click on the red X on the mike and
all the other things get red X on their mikes. This might make sense but
I really don't care :-!
OK the Volume Control will control your playback on the Alsa Mixer
and the mike gain is on the OSS mixer. The next problem is, if you turn
off your computer then the next time you use Volume Control it will need
all this done again. But we can make this setting default by doing this.
Well the Upgrade erased the thing you use to make this the default.
As root you typed #alactl restore but an Update has removed this capability.
So you must reset Volume Control each time you use it on an Updated
FC6 and any F7.

Karl,
I have found a solution, but was hesistant to post it. It is not an elegant one, but I read on some forum/wki mythTv or something similar.
1. First change the settings to your liking.
2. Then do as root user $ su -
alsactl store
3. Also as root add the line
/sbin/alasctl restore
to /etc/rc.local file with your favorite text editor, vi, gedit, kedit, kwrite, etc.
In one of my machines I have the following:
[olivares@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
# martian configuration
/sbin/modprobe martian_dev
/sbin/alsactl restore
[olivares@localhost ~]$
And it restores the sound settings which I like.
I asked the question once
http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx/6925740.html
Answered myself what I tried
added the line to /etc/modprobe.conf
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
snd-intel8x0 && { /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null
2>&1 || :; }
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || :; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove
http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx/6934963.html
But I was hesistant to send in the solution that works till I made sure that it does work. IT does work for me, and I hope that it works for you and others interested.
Regards,
Antonio
