Save Alsa Volume Levels

For some reason when I reboot my Arch Linux workstation, Also is always muted when I login. I always have to go into my sound preferences window (Gnome) & enable the levels and select 'headphones' which gets very annoying after some time. I don't remember how I can save my Alsa levels on Arch Linux and the Wiki has changed in the last year since I've installed Arch Linux. Can someone please show me how I can save this so I don't always have to un-mute and configure my sound during each reboot?
Thank you!

I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. I will test it and report back.
Thank you!
The problem is, /etc/rc.d/alsa does pretty much the same thing; it runs 'alsactl restore' on boot and 'alsactl store' on shutdown.
Also, check if SAVE_VOLUME is set to 'yes' in /etc/conf.d/alsa. (This is the default, but you never know.)

Is there a way to save the volume level in Win 7

When I go to any web site and play a flash video the sound is very loud. I go into the control panel (Windows 7) and into "adjust system volume." There is a slider for firefox and flash player. The firefox slider has no affect on the volume, but the flash player slider does. The problem is that windows or flash player does not save that level. When I play another video later, I have to go in and adjust the sound level again. Why won't it save the level like to other sliders do? Anyone?

If you want to invert the colors you can.

Saving Youtube volume level in Private Browsing

How can I save Flash volume level in Firefox Private Browsing mode (in sites like Youtube)?
Thanks.

Thank you Chris. I appreciate your reply.
Firefox stores site-cookies in Private Browsing mode for the session (i.e. until exiting FF or switching to normal browsing).
I think it would make sense if ‘flash cookies’ would also be stored for the session.

Saving of the Volume-Level when powering off S750

Hi, i want to use the s750 in combination with a system that powers-off my monitor, s750, etc when my pc will be shut down... My question now is: will the s750 save it volume level after it is powerd-off? (by tuning it off OR disconnecting the power cable when it was turned on). And does it automatically turn itself on again when i connect the powercable again or do i need to turn it on manually then? (if the power cable was disconnected while the s750 was powerd-on)

When plugged in it starts in standby mode, so you have to turn it on at the remote/pod. Annoyingly when you unplug it it forgets the volume settings (including the individual satellites settings). It remembers the settings when going to/from standby (ie pressing the pods power button).
Its especially annoying because when I had one i measured its power usage. I cant remember the figures now, but it was high enough in standby that I started turning it off at the plug.

When I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting?

I'm trying to mix a recording in the latest 2014 version of Garageband, but when I set all the tracks in the latest Garageband to the same volume levels and save, when I open the file again they've changed back to a previous setting? Does anyone know why it changes even after saving the file?
Below is my iMac settings.

Do you have a back up?
If not you're into using file recovery software like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Volume Level Will Not Save When Restarting or Shutting Down iMac

I have a 24" iMac with 10.4.9 and all available updates as of April 5. When I restart my iMac the volume level will not save so when I reboot into OS X it is at 50% which is inconvenient for me since I have my speakers at full so all I would have to do is use my Mac's volume to turn it up. I never had this problem with my G4 Mac Mini. I know I could just create an Automator action, but the system should save the volume automatically, shouldn't it?
Thanks!

I have had this problem since the day I got my machine in february last year. At every new boot it's not full (as i like it) but only up half way.
I don't know why it doesn't stick, but I've lived with it for over a year so I kinda forgot about it.
OS X ignoring the setting whether or not to dim the display after a few minutes is another of those minor peeves that have been around for over a year.

Volume level isn't reflected when I save song in itunes

Ever since I got the '08 garageband version and leopard 10.5 for my mac, I haven't had any success with saving my garageband creations at the volume level I want it. In the old garageband, when I adjusted the volume next to the track length, or the master volume, and exported the song to itunes, this level would be reflected. Now, every song I export is at the same volume regardless of what I do. I've messed with settings, the format that I export it (mp3 etc) to no avail. This happens with songs I created in the old garageband and the new ones I've made. Does anybody know what I could do?

Why won't volume levels stay saved? ro

After mixing I save and it appears to save everything. All the recording or overdubs save. It is just the volume controls that keep resetting.
When I open it back up, some of the volume levels on some of the tracks have reset to zero. It doesn't do it on all of the tracks, it is just random ones. Therefore, I am having to remember exactly what I am doing and having to reset and check over everything each time. That's suppose to be the beauty of "saving", so I don't have to keep going back and reset the mixing levels. It appears that after I have added about over 50 tracks, some of those tracks are the ones that start doing this. Anyone know what is causing the volume levels to not stay set at their correct levels on all the tracks? thanks
I have GB '09 version 5.1 and mac osx 10.6.7 snow leopard

Setting default volume level for Java Desktop

Hello,
I am running Sol 10 11/06 for sparc. How do I permanently set the default volume level for the Java desktop? If I change the volume manually and "save settings" on logoff, the saved setting is not saved after a reboot, after which I have to set it again.
Thank you......

Annoying, isn't it?
Unfortunately the only thing you can do is lower your system volume before opening those pages. The volume could be controlled by the Web page author but most are clueless.

ALSA volume sensitivity

Hello all, I have an Audiotrak Prodigy HD2 audio card + Sennheiser HD 555 headphones. This conjunction is very, very loud. When I want to get lower volume, I do:
[mk@linux ~]$ amixer -- sset Front playback -126dB
Simple mixer control 'Front',0
Capabilities: pvolume penum
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
Limits: Playback 0 - 255
Mono:
Front Left: Playback 1 [0%] [-126.00dB]
Front Right: Playback 1 [0%] [-126.00dB]
Louder: [mk@linux ~]$ amixer -- sset Front playback -125dB
Okay, that's enough: [mk@linux ~]$ amixer -- sset Front playback -124dB
It's still 1% in alsamixer. So basically it's impossible to set volume through any graphic mixer or audacious, because gain goes immediately to 5% which is way too much. I'm thinking of taking off headphone amplifier jumper but as far as I remember when I tested both settings after buy, it didn't make a difference. Any suggestions apart of using software volume control in audacious? Thanks.

Use with xbindkeys / khotkeys or whatever can make a global shortcut or a mouse gesture or whatever

I don't know of a native way to do this in xfce... though admittedly it has been a while since I have used any DE. I typically use a pretty consistent brightness level though, so I just made a udev rule that waits for proper /sys path to show up and then sets the appropriate value. Here is what I have (though it is probably not going to be exactly the same):
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="acpi_video0", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", DRIVERS=="i915", ATTR{brightness}="4"
On the udev wiki page, there is a link in there to getting started using udev rules. It is somewhat old, but everything about it still applies (since it is just the basics) with one exception. The command is now udevadm.
As an alternative, you can use Xyne's relight. I have not tried this myself, but it basically just writes the value of your brightness on shutdown and reapplies it the next boot. I would imagine that this could probably be done with a couple quick and easy systemd.service files as well. I think you could just model them somewhat after alsa-store.service and alsa-restore.service in terms of Wants, After's, Before's, etc.
Thanks! But it seems a systemd's bug like 65kid said, I would rather wait for it's fix

How can a consistent volume level be set for all the songs in an iTunes library?

The volume of the songs in my iTunes library varies significantly when played on my iPod. Is there any way of setting a consistent/equal volume for the songs in my library so that I don't have to change the volume level when listening to my iPod?

I have used the $30 iVolume utility to equalize my iTunes song's volume for several years and it works well. I just wish it worked for music videos. iVolume is available on the Mac App Store, or you can try before you buy at the developer's site: http://www.mani.de/en/ivolume/index.html

Using compressor DVD Studio Pro 4 will only accept ac3 format in the burn process. ac3 makes a nnsense of the good sound delivered, 30% reduction in volume, auto volume levelling giving unwanted volume variations. Used to be able to burn using AIFF/WAVE,

AS Above. Edited in FCPX. Excellent sound file. Using Compressor 4 to DVD Studio 4. Wanting AIFF or WAVE sound for acurate sound.
Previously DVD Studio 4 has accepted AIFF etc and delivered sound as reuired. Now, during the burn process everything other than ac3 is declined as 'video bit rate too high', but will burn if the AIFF format is replaced with ac3 (which I presume meanss the 'video bit rate too high' is referring to the sound file)
The issue with ac3 format is the huge reduction in original volume and worse, the 'auto volume levelling' that makes a nonsense of the original soundtrack - with simply aweful unwanted variations in volume Throughout the the dvd.
I have tried everything I can think of to get around this. The 'volume gain' in compressor doesn't make any difference. Exporting just AIFF and the Video to DVD 4 doesn't make any difference, it always declines anything but the aweful sound ac3 delivers.
I have customers awaiting a musci DVD, not with thei quality I can't.
Cheers
Phil

The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3. I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

How to get script to save up one level

Here is my basic script so far:
if (activeDocument.width > activeDocument.height)
doAction("WalletName H_Right","X-Key Logos.atn");
else if (activeDocument.width < activeDocument.height)
doAction("WalletName V_Right","X-Key Logos.atn");
I want a script that will save my current edited Photoshop CS3 open document image (stored in a folder called Client/jpg) and save it into a Client/edit folder. In other words I want it to go up one level from the jpg folder to the Client folder then save into the "edit" folder that is in the Client folder.
I want it to save as Jpeg, Level 8.
In another script I use this to save the file as jpg level 12 into the same folder and append to the name:
var CurrentFolder = activeDocument.path;
saveFile = new File(CurrentFolder + "/" + imgName + "_" + "wal")
   saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
   saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
   saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   saveOptions.quality = 12; //ranges from 0 to 12
   AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
But in this case I just want it to save with same name jpg but level 8 in a differnt folder. The Client/jpg folder will be different everytime. "Client" refers to the client's name so that folder is not always in the same location. So what snippet of code can be placed into the saveFile area to say go up one folder and save to "edit" folder with the open document's current name.

Ok I am not sure where to put it. This is what I got so far now:
//Determint wether document is Horizontal or Vertical and run that action
if (activeDocument.width > activeDocument.height)
doAction("DigiPhoto H","X-Key Actions.atn");
else if (activeDocument.width < activeDocument.height)
doAction("DigiPhoto V","X-Key Actions.atn");
// Write file up one level into "digipics".
var CurrentFolder = activeDocument.path;
var parentFolder = decodeURI(activeDocument.path.parent);
$.writeln(parentFolder);
saveFile = new File(parentFolder/digipics, imgName)
   saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
   saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
   saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   saveOptions.quality = 8; //ranges from 0 to 12
   AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
It does the first actions and saves but prompts for where and what size. What exactly does this need to look like so that it saves level 8, jpg without prompting and saves to the up one level folder as discussed earlier.
I have searched and can't find anything.
