Question,
On one of my home machines, I have mixer pcm & vol set to 100% :
[olivares at tricorehome /usr/home/olivares]$ mixer
Mixer vol is currently set to 100:100
Mixer pcm is currently set to 100:100
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 0:0
Mixer rec is currently set to 81:81
Mixer igain is currently set to 0:0
Mixer ogain is currently set to 50:50
Mixer monitor is currently set to 75:75
Recording source: mic
in /boot/device.hints
hint.pcm.0.vol="100"
hint.pcm.1.vol="100"
hint.pcm.2.vol="100"
But when I play with mplayer, the pcm setting is at 48%
I then increase the sound level by using the (*) key to increase it
and the (/) key to lower it. I had reason to believe that once I
would set up the sound using /boot/device.hints, it would be (set in
stone) forever, but on starting up the system, mplayer puts it back at
48%.
Will the systcl hw.snd.vpc autoreset=0 command cure this illness as well?
If it does, do I add it to /boot/device.hints? and it is a done deal!
or no deal! :(
I have always wanted to ask but was not sure it it was freebsd or
mplayer's configuration.
Regards,
Antonio
