Hi all,

Having a spot of bother with the volume control on openSUSE 11.0.

Looking at gnome-volume-control after the system has started up, the
master volume is set to zero and various other controls such as Aux and
Aux 2 are muted.

If I reset all of these to the correct values they stay until the system
next boots up. Can anyone suggest why they are turned down or muted when
I log out/in?

Thanks in advance,

Suse 11.0 mostly uses Pulse Audio volume control. It doesn't work too
well with ESD sound. When you open volume control it should show as
Pulse Audio.

I had this problem. One of the services started on boot up
killed the sound. I cured it by adding the line

/etc/rc.d/alsasound restart

to /etc/rc.d/boot.local. It gets run at the end of the
bootup sequence.

So in effect I automated what you are doing manually. But
it worked... ;-)

Thanks. Will try it upon startup tomorrow morning!
