Mageia forum

I have HDMI from computer to TV.
I have two channels in alsamixer: "S/PDIF" and "S/PDIF D"
When i boot computer, "S/PDIF" always on mute ("MM") and "S/PDIF" always on.

How can i get both channels on by default??

I am on Mageia 3, KDE, x32. Using PulseAudio.

this also used to be the case with the soundblaster cards in mga1

you can use alsactl with a save option to save the settings.

then in /etc/rc.local on boot you run alsactl to apply those saved settings.

use alsamixer to set the settings initialy.

im just skimming this from memory, so you will have to learn about alsamixer and alsactl to find the method im talking about.

I getting lost
I saved wanted alsa settings with "alsactl store".
Then i created file "spdif" in created folder "/etc/rc.d/rc.local":

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
alsactl restore

chmod +x path_to_file
reboot

NOTHING..

Someone?

So that's how i did it:
1. Configure alsa settings and then:

Code: Select all

alsactl store

2. Create file: /etc/systemd/system/rc-local.service:

Code: Select all
