Hi,
It seems that the default volume for any new soundcard is set by default to -20dB. Do you know where is it hardcoded ? In which source file (I used package "alsa-utils" in Debian) or which configuration file?
Thanks, Jo
PS: here's the context :
I woud like to set up the default sound volume once for all, for all ALSA devices that will be connected ever. Of course, I could do "amixer ..." or even "alsamixer" to modify the volume of _currently available_ soundcards. But I really want to modify the default volume even for future soundcards that will be added later. I've seen /var/lib/alsa/asound.state but the content is specific to _currently connected_ soundcards. What I want is a solution that will apply to any soundcard that will be connected in the future.
Why do I want this? I'm providing a ready-to-use Debian image for my project http://www.samplerbox.org. User #1 might use the computer's built-in-soundcard, User #2 might have a USB DAC, User #3 might have another soundcard... I would like to provide a default -3dB volume that will work for any ALSA soundcard people could have...
