Can't set sound levels at startup

Hi All,
I've gone through the ALSA sound guide on Arch in some detail. I have sound working on my computer.
However, it starts muted at 0% everytime I boot up... despite using alsamixer to set the levels and saving the config with alsactl store and adding alsa to my rc.conf daemons.
On boot up I see the ALSA sound levels marked as [DONE]
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Here's an alternative.

  • HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

    I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers.  I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well.  The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
    Is there an easier way to do this?

    go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

  • Can you set isolation levels of message-driven bean transactions?

    The problem: I have 3 different message-driven beans which each get a different type of message, except for a field that is common to all. That field is used as the primary key of an entity object. The message-driven beans configured to use a container managed transaction. Each message-driven bean, in processing the message, first does a lookup by primary key to see if the object associated with the key exists, and if it does not, it requests the entity's home object to create it. After that, they do further processing. The problem is that sometimes all the beans simultaneously get a message, resulting in each bean checking for the entity object at about the same time, and if they fail to find it (because none of them has created it yet), each creates an object, all with the same primary key. This is not caught until the beans start to complete their onMessage method, which I believe results in the container committing the transaction. One of the transactions will be committed successfully, while the other two will fail, get rolled back, and then be retried with the same message. The second time through, the other beans will find the entity object (since it has been created and committed) and they will complete correctly. In the end, they right thing occurs, except that there is a troubling exception or 2 in the log telling about the constraint violation (with the primary key) and the rollback. If it was just me, that would be fine, but our customer does not like to see exceptions in the log; that indicates to him that something is wrong.
    So, I am looking for someway to make sure that the actions of the message-driven beans are serialized. One suggestion from a colleague was to set the isolation level of the transactions being used by the container in processing the message-driven beans' onMessage method. However, the documentation does not mention any way to do this for a message-driven bean. Suggestions?
    Is the use of a UserTransaction a better way to do this? If I acquire a UserTransaction within the onMessage method of a message-driven bean, can I set its isolation level? How would this work? When I get a UserTransaction, does each client get a different transaction, or do they all get the same one?

    (1) The WebLogic JMS "unit-of-order" feature is a heavily adopted feature that was specifically designed to handle similar use cases - see the JMS developer guide for extensive documentation. In your use case, if "key" is used to define UOO, then there's no limit on the number of keys that can be processed concurrently, but messages for any particular key will be processed single-threaded in the order in which they were first submitted.
    Note that if you're using distributed destinations, the UOO feature is still fully supported - but the developer and/or administrator needs to decide whether to configure the destination to use "hash" or "path service" based routing (the JMS UOO edoc outlines the trade-offs).
    (2) Another alternative is to use a single MDB with max-beans-free-pool that processes all three types (as the other poster suggested). I think this assumes all MDBs run on the same JVM.
    (3) Another alternative is to use multiple queues, with a single MDB on each Q. Where some sort of hash algorithm is used to determine which Q is for the key. This approach is a "hand-coded" variant of the approach in (1) with "hash" based routing enabled...
    (4) If all MDBs actually do run in the same JVM, a third alternative is to use code the application to use a common lock to protect each key, eg, something like:
    // assume MyLock is simply a class with a "reference counter"
    // assume some global "staticHM" hash map that is all MDBs can access
    onMessage() {
    MyLock lock = null;
    key= msg.getKey();
    synchronized(staticHM) {
    lock = staticHM.get();
    if (lock = null) {
    lock = new lock();
    staticHM.put(key, new lock());
    lock.incRefCount();
    try {
    synchronized(lock) {
    // only one onMessage will be able to lock a particular key at a time
    do your work;
    } finally {
    synchronized(staticHT) {
    if (lock.defRefCount() == 0) staticHM.remove(lock);
    if (lock = null) staticHM.put(key);
    If multiple threads get a message with the same key, then only one thread at a time will work on the key.
    Hope this helps,
    Tom

  • Setting sound level on Mac

    I have been trying to set the sound level on a Mac.
    But even though I set the sound level to 1 - the Mac sound
    bar always goes to 70% of the total volume.
    There is no way to set the sound level to anything lower than
    70%

    try this - paste into your messge window and hit return after
    each line:
    _sound.soundLevel = 7
    put _sound.soundLevel
    _sound.soundLevel = 2
    put _sound.soundLevel
    you should see:
    -- 2
    -- 7
    if you use 'beep' after each setting you should hear it
    change too.
    Good luck

  • Can you set log level

    Does weblogic supply any way of setting the level of log messages that

    in production. I'm currently doing this with application level code

    Yes, weblogic does supply a way of setting the level of log messages that actually

  • Can you set the level of the logfile

    Hello,
    Is there a way to set the level off information put in the logfile? How can

    Kind Regards,

    That only sets the level for stdout, not for the logfile.

  • Can't set sound device for output

    Mac 10.4 Flash 8 Firefox, Camino and Safari:
    The sound output from Flash 8 insists on going only to my USB
    Headset - whether it's connected or not. There seems to be no way
    to control this. From a web developer point of view (as well as a
    user point of view), this seems to make Flash unusable for a number
    of users. We're already receiving angry responses from clients who
    can't experience their own web pages.
    Seems it could be addressed without completely upsetting the
    work flow at Adobe....

    Have you tried the troubleshooting I have suggested? The other solution you may want to consider trying before installing Windows 8.1 is to refresh Windows 8. This cleans up the operating system without affecting files. Here is some information on how to do this: Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8)

  • Linux FF34 - How to set sound levels to a lower default?

    The FEBE firefox extension plays a beep sound when it's backing up. My backup is at midnight on a Sunday and the PC is in another room, but the noise when it beeps nearly lifts the roof offo fo my house. Likewise, there are many sites where the site set the sound volume to a default Full Volume such as this one https://grabien.com/story.php?id=19088 (try it) and I see this:
    http://i.imgur.com/PVAhbYE.png << THe CubeUtils.
    It always starts off at MAX VOLUME. How do I change the default volume to always start at say 30%?

    You have my empathy!  This used to be obvious in versions before Mavericks.  Does Apple's silence on this mean they are becoming more Microsoft-like and removing convenient features?  That the question of 8 people has gone unanswered for 8 months is unconscionable.

  • Can't edit sound level through a clip?

    Im waiting for my software here in Spain and I can't believe that

    I can't believe it either. I've always bragged to people about how many features iMovie '06 has, and to think that now it's gone? (Well, iMovie '06 isn't gone, but . . . ) I get my copy of iLife tomorrow, so I'll be reporting back (as will many of us).
    Say it ain't so, Steve!

  • Can't set sound intensity with kmix / kmilo bug?

    Hi,
    after an upgrade to a new mainboard (ASrock ALiveNF7G-HDready) my keyboard multimedia keys (XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume) don't work anymore. The keys give the correct keycode (tested with xev), but kmilo/kmix does not recognized it.
    I found an similar bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/118723 (patch included). May we have the same problem here?

    Hi,
    I'm kinda a new mac user. I want to know how i can adjust the sound level specifically for each browser tab or application the way you could do in windows.

  • Normalising Sound Levels in iMovie

    Hello,
    I have an iMovie project which is a video/audio interview between two people. Unfortunately the interviewer's mic is far quieter than the interviewee's. Is there a way that I can normalise the sound levels within iMovie so that the volume is consistent?
    Thanks!
    Tom Ewer

    The only way to do that is, if you have iMovie 11, view the audio levels under the video clips and manually change it each time the people switch talking.

  • Sound levels for hearing impairment

    How can I increase sound levels of incoming calls?   I'm a bit deaf.

    Hmmm. . . .
    don't take my word as read, I usually master to DVD at -12db this seems to avoid the nasty volume surprise when you switch audio sources from broadcast tv to your dvd player.
    That said you would be surprised at the number of DVDs from top name movie houses that have -12db movies with 0db menus . . . talk about left hand (movie co.) doesn't know what the right hand (Yes geezer we make menus inc.) is doing.
    If you are suppling a DVD via a professional replication house do what I do and ask them for advice. My opinion says its more professional to ask than not (and yes I realise thats what you are doing here . . . . )
